[Nfb-krafters-korner] Fabric Glue?

[Powers, Terry (NIH/OD/DEAS) [E]]

I think I said this in class, I back mine with a plain piece of canvis and stitch the 2 together with the over cast stitch.  You can always make 2 coasters and put them back to back and stitch them together.  Make sure your tail is inbetween the original and the plain canvis.  See my other description about putting a knitted back on. 
I have only done a loop coaster, neetly, with out a back, a coaster with a canvis back and 2 of the same coaster, back to back.  The last method is very time consuming.  I use the plain canvis method.

That's interesting -- I have 2 coasters I did for Terry's class and want to cover the back sides with something, but I don't know what to use. Would felt be appropriate for that? It is just messy enough that I want to cover it up so as not to be confused with the fronts of the coasters.

Oh, but the name "Tacky glue" sounds a bit, "tacky" -- does it look good when you're done? assuming you don't get globs of it on the outside?

What besides felt would be good for covering the underside of a coaster? I was thinking of something rubberized so it wouldn't slide.
Happy krafting.

There is 2 types of Tacky glue for crafting.  One is in a bottle that  you
can squeeze and it is thicker then Elmer's.  This dries clear.   The other
is Tacky glue that comes in a jar.  It is more like a tooth paste thickness.
 I have used the jar glue to paste felt onto plastic  canvas.  It works very well and dries clear.I put the paste on the plastic  canvas and then onto the fabric.  I have used my finger to rub the glue  from the jar onto things.  I have used a toothpick if I am working on small  items.  I have even used my glucose test strips to spread it on.  I  let the kids use the glucose test strips.  You need to kinda peel it off  your fingers if you don't use a similar tool.  Popsycle sticks work well,  too.
