Default Elmers glue on high loft batting?

I tried using Elmer's glue on a high loft poly batting in order to do cross-hatch quilting on a small baby quilt. Miserable results. The batting shifted every which way and I had a lot of folds on the backing. Finally had to completely unsew the quilting and am about to start over. I had drizzled the glue very sparingly, about 2 inches apart, from about 12 inches over the quilt, in a back-and-forth motion just I have always done when using W&N low loft which always worked very well. I'd sure like to hear from you if you have any hints on how to glue baste these high loft poly batts. Should I consider water soluble thread basting instead? (Don't like pinning if I can avoid it.)
