I've never tried using glue but want to, especially after reading this thread. Being fairly new to quilting, I have a question for y'all. Do you still have to have the backing piece pulled taut before applying the glue? I'm assuming yes. That's my biggest aggravation. I end up pinning the backing down on my carpeted seeing room. It's a pain, but I don't have any other place other than hardwood, but I can't risk getting basting spray on it. Is there an easy answer for at home basting?
FYI: it doesn't have to be the Elmer's brand; any brand of WASHABLE school glue works just like the Elmer's. I like the WSG from WalMart @ 34cents a bottle.
