I got to charity shops and I get old sheets and pillow cases wash them and dry them iron them and strip them down to make material I need I do rag rug if and use them to make them up that way you are recycling the bedding ect xx 😘 xx love your Chanel xx 😘 Wendy uk 🇬🇧 XX
AWE thanks, I gave it all up as my husband was sick for years and cant bring myself back to it now he's gone. Just can't find the way... and he's been gone two years!
I've always used school glue stick (the purple) and have never had a problem removing papers from my fabric, nor with skewing or stretching of the fabric. You don't glop on the glue, you use just enough to tack down the fabric so that you can sew it together. If you water spray your pieces once you have gotten them together, the papers will be easy to remove. I found that those glue pens run out of glue so quickly that it really isn't economically feasible-unless you have no financial restraints. I'm happy with the Elmers Purple Glue sticks.
Pamela Hunt thank you so much for your comment. I'm a newbie and I was wondering why it wouldn't be a good idea to use glue stick (specially when you are financially mindful) your tip has just saved me a lot of money and effort searching for fabric glue. You've made a new quilter very happy!😀❤️
Maybe the purple glue sticks (disappearing color) has a lighter stickiness than the regular white glue. I use white school glue for basting seams for bags, and I didnt prefer purple glue for that purpose. Maybe I can use them for EPP! Thanks for the idea.
Thanks Pamela! I’m pretty new to EPP, but do find that I run out of those glue refills really quickly!! I’m gonna try the purple. It washes out of the fabric ok?
Hi I'm from Australia and I have always used a normal glue stick and I have never had any problems using it, And no problems removing the papers. Yes it saves me money by buying them and yes I prefer them to the sewline glue pen. I guess it's what the person can afford. 👍🏻🇦🇺😀
Thank you for this video, and thank you to the lady who uses tape, because I have a weighted tape dispenser it is a quick and no mess way to do the EPP. I am new to EPP, I like it because there is lap sewing to be done
my templates came with a hole in the middle....i folded the fabric around my templates, ironed, pulled them off and then glued each side...with school glue, and now i'm stitching them together, is working like a charm
I use the pink glue pen but I've also used the school glue with good results. The pink glue has a finer tip but it gets soft - so I store it in the fridge! Chilling the pens and the sticks works well, try it!!
***** I have so much fun! Last night in the middle of the night I was in a design frenzy and I kept auditioning fabric...the next day I have to go clean up the tornado but it's fun!
i LOVE Spray starch that comes from can and foams up. I use a tiny regular brush and use the method of brushing it on edges of fabric and iron it down. I had a project in my bag for 8mo and counting and petals still have their shape WITHOUT the back paper. Try it out :)
Of course I just bought a glue pen yesterday and watched this video this morning. Which pen did I purchase? Beige...of course. LOL Thanks for all of the great videos. Just getting into EPP and your videos are very helpful.
Carol Hofstetter Oh now don't lose heart! I used to only carry the beige, until I could get the others and I have a TON of blue refills so that is what I use. Then a customer came into my shop the other day and said she only likes blue because she lives in Arizona and the pink melts easier in the heat! so there you go, Its a matter of opinion. Thank you, I am going to try to film another very soon. I've been wanting to for sometime but things (life and doctors) keep getting in the way of our plans :)
What do you do with your dog ears? Cutting them? Me, I fold them and sew them in the same time that the sewed sides. I ate that they are in my way. But with triangles, can I continue to do like I presently do??
Hi Joni. Since I like to be very artistic in my approach it is all about the repeat for me . Often I need the exact same design repeated 8 times for a star. This is often a yard and a half . Then I just fill in with matching colors

I love your panel hint. I can't wait to paw through my stash to see what I have. Thank you so much for sharing this!!!!!
my templates came with a hole in the middle....i folded the fabric around my templates, ironed, pulled them off and then glued each side...with school glue, and now i'm stitching them together, is working like a charm
thanks so much for this, Ive been struggling with removing glue basted papers...now I realise that spritzing is the answer!
I use the pink glue pen but I've also used the school glue with good results. The pink glue has a finer tip but it gets soft - so I store it in the fridge! Chilling the pens and the sticks works well, try it!!
I don’t glue at all because I use wonderclips at the corners and remove them as I sew baste the hexi.
Thank you for your teachings I have been learning how to epp and made one quilt just scrappy. But now I see yours! WOW ..

What an amazing tip. Thank you so much!💕
Great tutorial on epp and gluing. Thanks!
When I have a problem removing the papers that have been glued I press lightly with a dry iron.

Why can’t you say the name of the glue when you’re offering your opinion? Beauty influencers do it all the time? Just wondering.
What do you do with your dog ears? Cutting them? Me, I fold them and sew them in the same time that the sewed sides. I ate that they are in my way. But with triangles, can I continue to do like I presently do??
Yes, I just sew on with them there, they don't really get in my way
great tips! thank you!
Great video
What about the yellow glue?
Its fine. :)
Hi, I'm not new to EPP, but new to using glue.
Are your papers just plain matt paper or shiny like the sew line brand?
I just use plain paper. I've used the shiny and it works as well, but plain card stock is the least expensive choice for me
That is a really good i sea to use panels!
Vickie Jones Yes!! they are a really inexpensive solution to get a lot of different matching coordinates all in one small piece!
Hi,😊 I was wondering how do you know how much fabric you need to buy when making an epp quilt?
Hi Joni.
Since I like to be very artistic in my approach it is all about the repeat for me . Often I need the exact same design repeated 8 times for a star. This is often a yard and a half . Then I just fill in with matching colors
Company names of stick's glue? thx
There are several. The most well known is sewline.
