Somebunny, you are right, you do not need glue for this method, as it would only glue the very bottom layer. I started a thread on confetti quilting some time ago after I took Jan Dole's class and was amazed at how thick the layer of confetti could be. Sometimes you might want to turn over a piece or two if the wrong side looked too white, for example and the glue would prevent you from doing that. The batting tends to hold it in place pretty good while you are working on it and the quilted netting holds it well after you are done. p.s., where are you on the OR coast? Feel free to email me if you would like futher suggestions.
