What You Glue is What You Get

A Whole New World That's Where We'll Be...

(sing with me - it's from Aladdin)
A Whole New World for You & Me....

This little bottle opened up a new world of

curved piecing for me!This is Corrie from Quilt Taffy.

Nice to be here!

I was sewing with a friend, Lori,

(Be sure to visit her etsy shop - See Lori Sew; she has some great items!)

on her comfortstitching

quilt along blocks and we used glue instead of pins!

~

To be honest, I was thinking GLUE with piecing??

I'll try it because -- it's not my quilt :).

But I'm a believer!

~

I like this Tombo glue's applicator, it's got a nice tip that doesn't clog

& doesn't run like some others.

You can find it here or at your local craft store.

Here's a peek at the hundreds of wedges that will go into the blocks.

After 8 wedges are pieced together, the arc is cut out.

Just a drop goes on the white,

and the arc piece is centered and pressed down.

Then put a very thin line of glue near the very edge

from the center out to one corner

and press a little with your iron.

It works perfectly.

What you glue is what you get.There's:

no shifting

no puckering

no pins to run over

no gumming up the machine

~

I like to sew with the white side up.

It sews so smoothly.

A whole lot faster & easier than pinning (shown below).

And no broken needles, if you miss taking one out.

Onto the next curve.

This is the one of the outer corners.

Glue & repeat!

Give it a try on your next project.

My next try will be on an apple core block --

actually looking forward to it.

Thank you Madame Samm for having me over & to Lori!
