I 've been reading about using Elmer's glue as a way of basting and decided to try it on a baby quilt. DH was with me when I went to get the glue at the drugstore and he picked up the store brand because it was cheaper. BIG MISTAKE. The glue didn't come out in a thin stream and took forever to dry. The sewing went fine, everything held together very well. The problem came when I had to wash it out. It has left shadow marks on the fabric. Even after 3 washings (I used color catcher sheets and they were still not white). The quilt isn't totally ruined, if you didn't know it you wouldn't see the problem. But I do.
Next time I will only use Elmer's.
