When the glue is dried, can you feel each glue spot? What about sewing over the glue?

Can you explain about the straw?? Do you put it on the spray bottle?Originally Posted by carslo
I was told you can put half water and half glue in a spray bottle and then add 5 drops of liquid dish soap, then swirl the dish soap into the water and glue with the straw attached to the nozzle and spray it on. I will be trying this as soon as I get an empty bottle. Remembering to rinse out the straw and nozzle after each use. Sounds like a win/win soultion to me. Let me know if you try it out before I do

Have a great day!
There is a straw inside the spray bottle it pokes into the noozle ( it is already in the bottle - it is the part that sucks the water up when you squeeze the trigger on the noozle) Sry if I was unclear

Carslo - your very welcome! The tute on your blog was great, and the link is there for anyone to follow. I just wanted to relieve some of your frustration on not being able to post the photos!

What does the dish soap do?
I had a 15 inch sq to sandwich for a test piece and used a glue stick on the backing put down the bat and then used my spray
i just smoothed the lumps with my finger worked great

Thanks so much for this tut, I really hate pinning and basting quilts, so next one I will do this way!
I have done 4 queen or king size quilts using the above method. Yes, I could feel and see the dried glue when I FMQ but if dry there was no trouble sewing, I tried to do a quick applique the other night of a star on a tree and I didn't iron it well enough and the glue did gum up my needle slightly. It has to be dry for the best results. I did let my larger quilts dry overnight and had no trouble.
