I tried to dilute the glue and spray it on but it didn't quite work for me. I think I added too much water. I'm going to give it another go. I also didn't add any dish detergent. I was planning to try it out to demo for my guild at an upcoming meeting. I should give it a try and show it off at tomorrow's meeting. I do have a few quilts that could be basted so it would be great timing.
I think the spray way is a way to go if you want to use school glue. I personally would not want to paint the glue on. That sounds like it would take way too long to have to deal with. Spraying it on would be awesome as long as you can handle the trigger squeezing. I am getting arthritis and I know it can be tiring if I'm doing a large quilt.
