I am making an art quilt that has up to 3 layers to sew through in places (raw edge appliqué). Can any one tell me if I can use what I purchased?
Here is an example of one I did in class last week.

I gave up on steam-a-seam, etc when I discovered that I could use Elmer's instead. I just apply it with a small nylon paint brush, set in place, iron dry, and keep going. I do use a sacrificial cloth on the ironing board and a pressing cloth to protect the iron though. I recently discovered that I can apply the glue to the edges of my drawn design and let dry, before I cut it out, then when I cut it out, I have a thinner glue line, and no fraying at all. I just dampened the edges during assembly. It worked.
