I have used this technique twice. One quilt was a baby quilt and the second a lap size throw quilt. I made the backing larger than the quilt top, about 2.5 inches all around. The batting was cut to the same size as the backing. I put the batting on the table with the center line marked. I folded the backing in half and placed it on top in the correct alignment to the center of the batting. This works best with another person. Then I stRted applying the school glue to the batting A bit at a time folding the quilt back over and smoothing it down as I went along. After giving this time to dry I turned the whole thing over and repeated it with the quilt top. It was easy to quilt and the glue washes out.
