I've been using the washable glue on bindings for years. I love the NO pins factor. Also have used it when matching a print, before sewing the joining seam. It holds everything in place so the print matches exactly.

Thank you so much for the tute and thanks to everyone who asked and answered questions and gave additional comments. I am definitely going to try this on my next runner and then work up to full size and larger quilts!

I'm thinking it wouldn't work to mix up diluted glue and put in a spray bottle, if you are planning on saving the extra. The glue would dry shut in the nozzle and trying to clear that would be a pain or impossible.

When doing large appliqued quilts, I use freezer paper for the largest pieces where fusibles would be a waste and iron to the right side of the fabric, cut out then glue around the edges, put in place, iron to set and peel away the freezer paper. Now it is ready to stitch. I also make card table playhouses from nylon fabric and make my appliques this way since nylon can melt before the fusible sticks!
