Default Glue Basting. Tried for the first time.

I tried out glue basting on my new granddaughter's doll quilt. I used my pampered chef pizza roller to spread out the glue.

Let it dry, quilted it. I didn't have any particular difficulties with the sandwich.

Trimmed off the leftover batting/backing. Bound the quilt. It's done. So, my backing scraps were laying on the table. I grab them, and start pulling off the batting. Some of it is stuck pretty well.

I take it to the bathroom & wash it with palmolive (what's in my foamy pump).

DREAD in my heart...It's NOT coming out. My mind is on the quilt I've just finished, oh no, what happened? It isnt washing out, it wont wash out of the quilt either. It was an older bottle, maybe I had transferred some REAL glue into the SCHOOL GLUE bottle?

What am I going to do? all those hours & fabric wasted in an unusable quilt.

sigh.

it was trimmed off stitching from where I'd sewed the perimeter of the quilt to the backing. Had got trimmed off in the square up process.

the batting was SEWED to the backing.

ROFL

All's well, ended well.

I did take pictures, but I still haven't mastered sizing them properly.

Later on that.
