Wow! I love this. What a way to avoid all those pin pricks I end up with. Gotta try it. Thanks for your tute :thumbup:

Hi Amma,

Must be something wrong with this handler. I used Elmer's Glue but it didn't stick as much as I thought it would. Any tips :?:

I know, I know... you explained it well enough, that is why I say it just must be me!

Thanks so much for putting up this tut. I used it to glue-baste the binding recently and it worked like a charm!

I am not sure why this happened. Could you give me some more information on what you were using it for please? I bet we can figure it out :D:D:D

Did you press it with a hot iron to set it? I't doesn't really stick until you do that step...

Let's see, so much has been going on since I tried it. Yes, I did press it with a hot iron. I will give it a try again now that I have my project completed and out the door. I do like the idea so I hope I can get it to work.

I did use a brand new bottle of Elmer's Glue. I will get back to you as soon as I try it again. Thank you. :-D

I also do this, a little swipe with the glue stick on the ends and it holds while I needle turn. I am working on an 18 x 18 Mokihana panel now.
