I use Elmer's Glue. Have used it for years. Check out post #51 of this thread.
http://www.quiltingboard.com/main-f1...t180790-2.html if you lay yours out on the floor or table, I suggest using a cheap plastic table cloth to protect those things . I used to use my kitchen floor before I got so many critters running around. I've got basting pins, a basting gun, and have done thread basting, but after I did Elmer's for the first time, I never looked back.
