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!
SueSew, the very same thing happened to me. I followed the directions on QB, step by step. Fortunately I used it on a wall hanging and was able to quilt it on the sewing machine. I think if I try it again I will dilute it. Somewhere I read a formula for that. I think it was 3:1 (glue:water). I also think that after I drizzle it on I'll spread it with a paintbrush. Wonder how that will work.
