I then press the quilt top to dry the glue. I flip it over and repeat with the backing.
I use this: Big Horn 19044 Glue Roller Bottle, 8 ounce. If you let the glue dry naturally as the moisture of the glue dries, the quilt will look wrinkly. Press it with steam and it will be smooth and stay smooth. I have glue basted on dining room tables before, no harm to the table. I let the glue dry then steamed pressed it on ironing board. I have tried every way of basting my quilts, quilting pins, thread, the tab machine, sprays, LA basted, fusible batting, and Pinmoors. Glue is my choice.
