Elmer's glue basting - stiff as board
I did a sample using leftover blocks, batting and backing from the quilt I am going to do next. I followed the instructions on the Board, using fresh Elmer's School glue, did the wavy S curves about 3" apart, criss crossed into a grid. Smooshed, smoothed and dried overnight. The fabric where glued is stiff as a board and hard as a rock.
I didn't thin it because I didn't want it to soak through the cloth to the outside of the sandwich. Instead I think it smooshed into the Quilters Dream Request-weight poly.
Do you all thin it?
My next act is to try quilting it, if possible. I have samples with Dritz and samples with JT adhesive sprays. Both are nice and soft. then I am going to wash them all and see if they come out soft, gummy, or stiff.
Appreciate your comments - thanks!
