Mike'sgirl,
Did Bellaboo say the quantities of glue to water ratio? As I was reading this threads, I thought about the spray thing as I do machine applique using the embroidery module. I use the commercially canned spray glue (expensive) to secure the background to the stabilizer and thought the Elmer's spray might work as well and be a lot cheaper.
Bellaboo, if you are reading this thread, please give us the recipe. Thanks.
