all about GLUE

OK. There are 2 good (& 1 barely adequate) ways to handle the issue of recalcitrant, wirey cords.



1. Lay your glue line, and pin through the cord into the fabric at intervals of about 1 inch. Remove the pins after the glue has tacked but before it is dry or you will be using pliers, popping off pinheads, and saying some not-so-nice words.



2. Lay the glue line and wait about 5-7 minutes until the glue starts to tack. Add the cord then. You will still have to pin sharp corners, but it's a lot less work than using 500 pins along the whole route.



3. Use a hot glue gun. This works but is an inferior choice because you have very little working time before the glue sets, and changing anything later is very messy.
