Did you all know that if you save your pieces of WSS and put them in a container with water that the solution can also be used as a starch with your projects? Just keep a small spray bottle handy

I have heard about this but haven't tried it yet.I will start saving pieces . Here is a flower for you.
16513Yes, I had heard about it but never tried it,I use more heat or melt away.
8150Yes, I had heard that. I have been saving the pieces in plastic bags but have not acutally tried it. I also understand that you can piece them together by placing on wax paper and wetting the edges to seal and let dry. Haven't tried this yet either so I don't know how strong it would be. That might be good for pieces that are placed on top of napped/terry/knit fabrics. It certainly would help with the expense of the soluble stablizer.

I have been doing this for quiet sometime (I use a lot of WSS), it makes the most amazing glue if you only add a tiny bit of water and shake. You can thin it down by adding more water, however it doesn't smell very nice. I tried it in the spray bottle, but it only clogged my spray bottle. I think I should have thinned it more. I didn't try it again due to the smell. If I want something to hold in place, or make two pieces of fabric stick together - I paint it on (lightly) with a foam paint brush and iron dry. I'm sure there are many other uses, I just haven't found any yet.
I love these discussion. :-)
62461Thanks, I had heard that you could do this - but wondered if it would spoil or anything like that. Do you know? *4U

I don't make that much, but it is recommended that you keep your WSS pieces in a baggie or glass jar, at least down here, because of the humidity. It can also be used as a temporary glue.

Do you mean that you piece them together by moistening edges and use again or dissolving in water and spraying on.?
