Fold backing over the glue and smooth. Fold the opposite half of the backing and repeat. Smooth everything once finished. Let dry and flip over and do the same with the quilt top. I add a little water to my glue to make it easier to stream out the bottle. If I'm in a hurry, I can press iron and have the glue dry faster. I glue right to the edges. My quilt top and backing aren't moving anywhere, no wrinkles, no puckers. That's where the large table tops are so important. All the quilt is laying flat.

And then when the quilt is all finished you wash it and the glue comes completely out?
