    I just recently purchased two small bottles with fine metal tips labeled for long arm quilting...oil, etc. bought at Joann's for a couple of bucks. They work beautifully. I bought large bottles of glue and just transfer. Really cool that it has an attached silicone cap that fits snugly over the tip, keeping it from drying out.

    So far, I have been successful applying the Elmer's school glue right from the bottle without any special tip, but so far I am only using the glue technique for binding.

    I went to a Vet Supply/farm supply and got a hypodermic syringe. Leave out the needle and it applies a very thin line or dot.
    Totally washable and reusable.

    Thanks for this tip. I've been using pins and find that I still get movement. Haven't used the glue yet but do have it to try for the binding when I'm finished with this quilt.

    My solution was the drugstore, ask for a needle 3ml 21G1. Perfect size for a thin line. Be sure to wash it good when finished.

    Speaking of this glue: now that quilters have discovered it, watch for some quilting tools company to start putting this out as quilter's glue and charging twice or three times what a bottle of Elmer's Washable School Glue costs!

    I used the E. School Glue on a small quilt, and liked the suggestion of putting it in a dish with a very small amount of water and spraying with a pastry brush. I thought it went quicker, and was more even.Mariah.
