Greatest thing since sliced bread to me! I also use about 3/4 glue to 1/4 water, I heat my water in the microwave, then it squeezes out really easy, and I just make squiggles all around on the batting, smooth out backing, then flip over and do the same with the top. I usually allow to dry overnight with the ceiling fan on. Never had a problem with gumming up machine, works great, and washes out completely.
