I've had my big Cricut for a couple years now and use it on most of my layouts. I mainly use it for titles and once and a while an image. I've only done one paper piecing piece (Mickey) and I think I just need some practice. It didn't come out too bad, but I probably won't use it on a page. LOL

Just wondering what kind of adhesive do yo use for the tiny parts? Even for letters that you would use for a title?
 
I use the ZIG glue pens, can get them in any craft store. They are usually blue. I swear by these and will never use another glue pen. Have tried several brands, and this is the only one that doesn't make the paper curl up. Used to use the smaller xyron sticker maker, but they seem like more work to me now than the glue pen.
 
I use zip dry for most things. It doesnt make your paper wrinkle and when it dries it becomes rubbery so if you put on too much glue you can just pull it of when it is dry. It doesnt leave any marks at all.

I use martha stewert glue pen for tiny things. It is just like the zig pen and even made by the same company (both are EK Success) but the MS pen is cheaper at Michaels.

HTH
 
I use the Scotch 3M glue pen. It has two ends, a sponge and a fine tip so it covers most jobs. I like using wet adhesive for pieceing because it is more forgiving than dry.
 

I use the zip glue pens too and also a pair of tweezers to hold the piece while glueing and it helps me with the placement of the piece.
I use the "TweezerBee" brand...its black with a yellow rubber piece that had the brand typed on it!
