This SEW EASY basting glue pen provides a temporary hold for quilting, appliqué, hems, and general sewing when you want an alternative to pins or hand tacking. The pen contains 6 g (0.21 fl oz) of non toxic adhesive that stays repositionable for up to 3 minutes and dries clear for neater placement. It is designed to wash out when you are finished, and the twist pen format helps you apply a controlled line on most cotton and blended fabrics.
