Trying to see how much is too much!
Based on my last quilt (abt 77" x 77") you will have more than enough.
I had just a tiny bit left in a bottle and diluted it and I managed to baste
the whole quilt with it. In fact I much prefer to dilute the glue just to
avoid those thick spots - not good for the needle.
I dilute the glue maybe 1:3 or 1:4. I don't measure. It was same consistency
as whole milk. I use a paint brush to apply then set it with the iron. Try on a
small sample and see how you like it.
