I of course don't need it for quilting on my short arm frame, but for free motion I won't use it.
I thought it would wash out since they state it does, but it doesn't. There are sections still tacky...what a mess.
I hate to throw away the batting since I'm into recycling; so, I'll work with it. Hopefully this smell goes away soon.
My husband thinks that in a couple of days the glue will dry and the smell will dissipate.
I doubt this stuff is healthy...and it should never be used on a baby quilt...I'm still coughing from this junk.
It's hand basting or pin basting from here on.
