Glue Baste: remove backing?
I glue basted my quilt together and started stabilizing it tonight. I realized I had a pucker glued on the backing, so I tried to pull it apart and the backing tore in my hands! It is a very flimsy muslin from Joanns, and I didn't like it, but I didn't expect it to do that!
So I took my stitching out and now I'm finding that if I try to pull the backing fabric off, the batting splits. I'm mad enough that I wasted my money on the backing fabric, but at least I can find some use for it after I wash the glue out! I don't want to waste the batting too!
It's 100% polyester, if that matters.
This is the first and only time I've bought fabric from Joanns. Not a happy consumer!

If nothing else works maybe you could use a different backing right over the one that is on the sandwich now. Not sure if this can be done as I'm a newbie but sound like it might. Good luck.

Thanks ya'll. I'll spray it tonight. Wouldn't mind keeping the front and the batting together and starting with a new backing.
Still mad enough to spit nails, but glad it tore then than waiting until I was 3/4 of the way done!!!
