Quilting supply...

I use Staples Washable Glue Sticks (comparable to Elmer's Glue Sticks) for temporary holding fabric together in quilting such as in applique bindings mitered corners and joining complicated pattern pieces prior to stitching. It does not stain can be removed easily with a damp cloth while still damp will re-stick if fabric needs to be adjusted and after it dries will dissolve in the wash so does not leave a hard edge. Staples brand is a little cheaper than Elmer's and FAR cheaper than "fabric glue sticks" (which are the same formula). I put a tiny drop of water in the cap and store cap-side down and this preserves the freshness (glue sticks should not be used if they get overly sticky and do not work at all after they dry). I even built a glue stick holder by screwing a cap onto a block of wood for temporary capping during a project. Good product!
I donated these to an elementary school and they were pleased.

Good if You Don't Need it to Stick Very Long

It goes on fine and lasts for short term use. I used these to paste recipes in my cookbook. After about a month I was flipping through pages and the recipes were falling off the page. The ones I'd done a long time ago with Scotch brand were still fine. I've got to go back and re-glue them with better glue. On the plus side if I want to get rid of a recipe you can peel it right out of the book with no damage to the page or the recipe. This would be good for kid's craft projects that are going to be thrown away after a day or two mainly because it is cheaper than the good stuff.
As I just mentioned I donated the glue sticks to an elementary school for their young students. I assume they are just fine as that is what they asked for.
