I have used it twice now and am very happy with the process and results. I laid the batting down, smoothed it out, drizzled a very thin bead of Elmer's school glue in a grid about where I would put pins, then smoothed the backing down. Let it dry and moved to another part of the quilt. I was doing this on my dining room table and didn't want to iron to dry fast. After doing the backing, turned it over and proceeded with the top the same way. It was very easy to sew through, didn't gum up the needle, and washed completely out. I'm going this way from now on.
