After I had spray basted my quilt with the Elmer's Glue Spray, I read several posts that said it was permanent. Wah! Oh well, it's done. It didn't seem bad and I could pull it apart. I am having an Amish friend hand quilt it and she said it didn't see like it would cause any problem. We will see when I pick it up tonight. Note: I won't be using it again.
