I'd like to revive this thread. I tried using elmer's school glue to baste and sandwich a quilt. I watered it down so that it would flow smoothly and thinly and put it on my backing fabric and batting. After it dried, it made the fabric stiff...very stiff. I pulled it apart, threw away the batting and washed the backing fabric several times, line drying each time to avoid shrinking. After 5 washings, the backing fabric is still stiff with glue residue. Is my fabric now a total loss? Any other ideas on how to get this glue out? Thanks for all of your help.
