What kind of fabric glue is best or recommended that will wash up. I see people using glue with a long thin nozzle on it and just drop drops. Does anyone know what this is.
Thanks in advance.

They ususally use a washable school glue like Elmers if you are talking about things like tacking the binding down.

You're kidding - Elmer's will do that!!??!

That is what they use and it also washes out. Just press it a bit to get it to dry for you to hold it well.

Yes, Elmer's School Glue works great. Check out Sharon Schambers site. She uses this glue to hold her bindings in place instead of pins before sewing. You use a fine line of glue, set the binding on as if to pin it and press with a hot iron, then you sew it on. The glue washes out when you wash it. I have been using this method for over a year now, it works great!!!

Depends on what I'm using it for. If it's binding, or something heavy/bulky like that I'll use Elmers School Glue in the bottle and set it with the iron.

If it's for piecing then I use a glue stick - no need to set that with an iron. Roll it on, place the fabric, bring it to the machine to sew - done. I've used a few different sticks, including Avery and Office Max own brand (or was it Staples - can't remember which store now). At any rate, each time I buy a pack of glue sticks I test them first to make sure they wash out. And no, I have not had any problem gunking up my machine, and I've used this stuff A LOT!!

I use Elmer's School Glue all of the time to glue baste. I even use it to sandwich small items to be quilted- I find that the glue absorbs into the batting & doesn't leave marks on the fabric. I always test first to be sure & have been using 80/20 batting. The long thin nozzled bottles can be bought at craft stores & you put your own glue in them.
