Instead of buying expensive tips, get a cheap mechanical pencil. Unscrew the tip from the pencil, take the orange tip off the school glue bottle. With a pair of non-fabric scissors, snip the tip off the school glue bottle. Start with just a little snip, see if the mechanical pencil tip fits. If it is too big, cut a bit more off the bottle. Keep snipping until it fits fairly well. You may get some leakage around the edge, but don't worry, the glue will self-seal the crack.

I never wash my quilts once they are finished.(I usually only make wall hanging sized quilts, not bed quilts and fabric is pre-washed). What happens when you leave the glue in?Will it rot the fabric? Stain it? Aside from the suggestions to wash the finished quilt, any other ideas on this? Thanks.

The glue method is what i use for binding...no clips or pins in my way when i hand sew it down. I don'thave the nice thin tip so i put a glob of glue on a scrap of paper and draw a pin through the puddle picking up just enough glue to sit on the end of the pin.....drop on the quilt then iron.
The amout I use is really tiny but it holds.

I use Elmers School Glue and heat set it with an iron when I have bias edges to sew together. Works for me. Love it.

I use the Elmers School Glue when the grandchildren are going to sew.
It holds the pieces in place and no pins to hurt the little fingers.

I have done it on one binding, it does take time and practice not to make a mess, but it definately makes a very crisp finish on the binding.

I use it for bindings. It works great.

yes but it's also washable and washes out so there is no problem. there are several threads on this board about using washable glue. i use it and it works great.
