Quilling Lowercase Letter n - How to Outline
Quilling the lowercase letter n is quite similar to and easier than the lowercase letter m. Again, I pinch the inner curve to tame it in the direction I want. It's easy once you see how it's done.
Ann Martin of All Things Paper enjoys using Scotch Clear Glue because it doesn't develop a "skin" on top of the glue puddle. That's very important to quillers because a project can take quite some time to complete. Having quick drying glue means you'll waste more re-applying a new puddle to avoid spidery dry bits hanging from your quilling strips, which ruin the overall finished piece.
I've tried the gel glue, but still prefer Aleene's Original Tacky Glue (Amazon Affiliate link) because I find it adheres my paper more quickly, so I mainly use it when I have many pieces ready to glue to my surface.
However, in the height of summer, my upstairs craft room gets quite hot. My glue puddle dries so quickly, that I need to re-apply a new puddle almost every other piece I apply. So I was excited to see Aleene's Clear Gel Tacky Glue (Amazon Affiliate link) at Michael's and gave it a try on my lowercase letter n. It doesn't develop a skin, but I found it also didn't adhere my paper as quickly as the Original Tacky Glue. So I'm still happy to use it during the summer, or when I have multiple pieces to glue at one time.
Which is your favorite glue and why? Please share your experience with other quillers so we can all learn.
