Thanks for all the kind words.
Copycat I spread out the batting on my table and centered the back fabric over the batting.
Then i clamped down one edge and folded the fabric back and we drizzled glue on the batting.
I spread the fabric back over the glued area and ironed it some. I let it sit for about 30 mins to dry a bit more.
I released the clamps and moved the unglued area to the table top and did the same thing again.
I let it sit for awhile ( an hour maybe? )with a fan blowing on it.
Then i pulled off the batting and fabric from the table.I used a plastic table and i'm glad as the glue stuck to
the table some. It should wipe off easily.
Then i repeated the process using the top this time and making sure plenty of backing fabric
was left on all sides and the top was centered on the table over the backing fabric.
I have a weird sensitive nose and i am afraid i wouldn't be able to tolerate the fumes from the spray basting,
otherwise i might consider it. Plus elmer's school glue is dirt cheap!
I must say, i am very pleased with this way of basting.
I quilted half of it today and it went very smoothly.
