Default Basting with Elmer's Glue

If globs appear, I take a small foam brush and gently smooth them out. I have found that if I weight my backing/batting down with my quilting rulers, mats, that it provides a better contact. I leave these items on the quilt for about 2-3 hours, then remove. Here is the link for the plastic glue tips. Note: these tips only fit the Elmer's Glue Bottles that have the "blue back" label. If the label is black, they will not fit.

Happy quilting everyone.
I just ordered these tips but I noticed that is said the back label was PRINTED in blue ink not a blue label. I hope that helps.
