    The operative word here for glue in the hair is "spiked". Spiked hair is by nature ---- short. I've got to try it!

    Since I found out about using glue from this site I have used it such alot. For binding it is an absolute must nowadays, and if I want to get patterns or stripes to line up then glue is the answer. I have had no problem with ironing or washing out - no mess on my iron and no-one would ever known my quilts were once quite stiff!! Love the idea of spiking my hair too. This quilting forum is just the best.

    Maybe someone can explain to me whether "washable" means that the glue will wash out in washings or if it means it will stay in through washings? I find this confusing; same with the "seeded" and "pitted" descriptions: With or Without?

    I learn something new here everyday! Love it! :)

    Hmmm.
    If someone said those words to me, I would interpret the seeded to mean WITH and the pitted to be WITHOUT.

    Which makes no sense. But I doubt that I'm correct.

    So much for higher education. :mrgreen:
