I am definitely going to try this next time. I have 2 questions for Coyotemagic:
1. Do you use the regular nozzle that comes with the Elmer's School Glue or do you use the fine one that Sharon Schamber uses for bindings?
2. Are you careful not to use glue right on top of another glue line in the lower section? I don't know if my question is clear. You make a 3"x3" grid of glue between the backing and the batting, and a 6"x6" grid between the batting and quilt top, right? I assume that you are careful that these grids are not on top of each other--I think you said something like that, but it wasn't entirely clear to me.
Thanks for taking the trouble to explain this--it sounds like something that can save a lot of sore knees and backs.
