I have been using the glue for the last 3 years and love it. I lay my batting on the floor then lay the backing on top. Once it all smooth I roll back one side and drizzle my glue on the batting (I do water the glue down with about 1/4 water to a bottle of glue) then I carefully pull the fabric over the batting. I use a yardstick to smooth the fabric over the batting with the glue in it. If I feel any big drops of glue I smooth them out with my hand. Then I do the other side. I let this dry overnight and then the next day I repeat the process with the quilt top. Hope that makes sense
