I just took the plunge and basted a quilt with Elmer's School Glue. I LOVE IT. I used a polyester batting and put the glue on the batting (just a very thin line) and, being the impatient type, used a dry iron set for polyester to heat-set the glue. I did one side at a time. Then I machine quilted with NO pleats, tucks, or problems. After binding, I threw the quilt into the washer (I have a front loader) on cold with a short cycle and then in the dryer on low heat. Turned out fabulous! I'm a convert. Do they sell Elmer's School Glue by the 50 gallon drum?
