Yes, just like neesie explained...by drizzling the glue onto the batting you can see the fabric and know there will be no wrinkles....try not to make the process harder than need be....you don't need to brush it on or use special tips....I use it straight from the bottle, tip wide open....moving back and forth across the batting....if you go faster, the glue forms small beads which are perfect....it isn't an exact science, just a very simple and effective method of basting a quilt
