Just wondering how Lapel Stick is different from regular glue sticks.
Also, could it be used on the corners of heat-away clear film stabilizer to hold fabric in place for hooping?
It is so much more costly that the regular glue sticks.
Thanks.

Lapel Stick is a temporary fabric adhesive, non-toxic, acid, free, water soluble.
I too would hesitate to spend that much money as I have found Ailene's works well for my projects. You have a choice of acid free, or not.
You could test the glue as you intend to use it to see how it works for you. I would keep the glue away from the area to be embroidered as the heat process needs to activate the "melting" properties of the stabilizer. The glue may block this reaction.

Thanks.
I just wondered how it compared with the regular Elmer's. I have used Elmer's sucessfully for basting trims.

You cannot hang 100 pounds from it, but it is a very good product. I suppose it depends on whether or not the glue is permanent or temporary.
Use as directed!
