I always put the batting down, first. I use Warm & Natural/White and since it's fairly firm, it doesn't shift like fabric will. Anyway, after the batting has been smoothed, I position and smooth the quilt top over the batting. After that is centered and smoothed, I fold back about half of the fabric and drizzle Elmer's School Glue over the batting. I usually do about a third of the exposed batting at a time, smoothing the fabric over the wet glue and making sure all is still straight. The amount of glue you use isn't really crucial. A little will go a long way. I usually open the orange bottle top just enough for the glue to squeeze out easily, then do a fast drizzle in a sort of zig-zag or serpentine pattern. When one half is finished, I fold the second half back to the glue line, then do the same with it. After the second half is finished, I leave it to dry (several hours or over night) OR I use a hot iron over a section at a time, to dry it.

When the first side is dry (or almost dry), I flip it over and do the same with the backing.

Let it dry completely, before quilting.
