thank you for the tutorial doing it length wise makes it seem easyer. I have been reading a lot about the Elmers school glue basting doing it your way lately. However when I frist read about using elmers School washable glue for basting a quilt the method was by making a homemade spray and spraying it on. Have you ever used it as a spray? I wonder is one way better then the other? I have been putting off finishing my GD's christmas gifts because I am afraid of making a big miss. your turtorial on how to lay out the quilt to glue bast has come just in time maybe tomorrow I will find the courage to start basting. Thank you again yippie
here is the recipe: you use equal parts glue and water in a spray bottle shake until they are compeltely combined, then add 2 to 5 drops of dish soap to the glue mixture. swirl the mixtrue gently with the tube from the head of the bottle until the dish soap has been thoroughly mixed in. after each use remove the sprayer from the spray bottle and flush it out with warm water. recipe from ehow.com called how to make elmer's glue spray.
