I use a product called Free Fuse now. It's easier then Elmers. I use folding tables so the quilt lays flat, smooth, sprinkle, press, and repeat on other side. I use very little of the Free Fuse, not near the amount shown in the demo videos. I don't know why they show using so much. The container has holes so I cover all but a few of the holes with tape and gently sprinkle the granulas on the batting one area at a time. No fumes, no wetness, no drying time. So far this is the best basting for me that I don't dread doing.
