Do they work better applying the glue on the back of the quilt top, or on the batting? And how much do you thin it down, roughly? Like 50/50 or less water than that?
I don’t measure so it’s a rough guess on the thinning. Maybe 70 glue/30 water. I find putting the glue on the batting works best. I try to use enough thinly spread so it doesn’t come thru to the top fabric so I can use the iron to dry the glue quickly. If the glue comes thru to the top layer it gets on the iron. Easy to clean off but still a mess. I cover the batting with glue in small sections then place backing or top over that section and iron, then move to the next section and repeat. Once one side is done, turn over to the other side and repeat the process. Those chip brushes are usually cost a dollar or less and I just was the glue out and use it again. The brush I’m using is a least three years old so you don’t need to buy more than one.
