The glue stick is quickly used up as there is not much in the cartridge! I used it to adhere rick rack onto an appliqué piece so I could sew the rick rack down using French Knots. The glue held for parts of it, but I would have to reapply in various areas. So it wasn’t a thing hold but thankfully I was only needing it for a small area. The new cartridge is already being used. I would try something else next time as this was just ok, not great for my needs.
