Tips for on edge quilling- When outlining on edge, use just enough glue to adhere to your paper. If there's too much, use a moist cotton swab or flat tip tweezers to get off the excess. For your seams, line the ends together, run your fingers up on the seam to get off the excess glue, and hold together without peeking until they adhere. If you use the same type of glue and practice, you can get the precise time down to where you won't have to peek. (Blobs of glue detract and shine in the light)
