KCMom raises some very good cautions. As a LAer, I would suggest you buy some really cheap fabric (at least 4 yd) and then play with this new machine figuring it all out. I would not suggest that you just go ahead and pin your glued sandwiches on to quilt--several questions: do the sandwichs have enough extra backing to actually pin to leaders AND to use your side clamps? I would not want to worry about a needle "sticking" in any glue globs and either breaking or possibly throwing off the timing of the LA, personally. Since it's likely washable glue, can you use a spray bottle and detach the top/bat/backing? Even if you have to really wet the back and top and end up tossing the bat (although you may be able to soak and then put in dryer depending on bat) I would suggest you do that. The extra hassle will be worth it in long run in my opinion.
