Happy New Year to you all!
Can anyone please tell me does 'Glue Stick' cause
any damage to sewing machines.
My old machine died before Christmas and I'm waiting
on a new machine end of January ..... Starting Kim Mcleans
Not that I'm aware of, other then it can 'gum up' the needle. In the past, when I've used a glue stick, I would use the glue to keep the applique shape in position as I sewed. So, I would apply the stick to the center of the applique shape as opposed to the edges. Hope your new machine gets there soon!!!
I use Roxanne's Glue, it disappears with water, doesn't hurt a thing. I take it you are going to machine applique your RA? I wouldn't want to sew thru any glue with my machine, but that's me.....Happy Sewing

ReplyDeleteAgree. The glue is not good for the machine. Use the glue stick in the middle.
