Glue is a staple in my quilting room. I've been using school glue for years since I had a class with Sharon Schamber. Elmers school glue is not a glue, it is a heavy starch. It's safe for fabric ( even kid's stomachs) it is easy to dilute. I buy it by the gallon. I use a carpenter's glue roller. I baste my quilts before putting them on the frame. I don't have to do all that tedious loading and measuring. Basting with the glue takes me no time at all. Once the glue is dry from basting I press the quilt front and back with steam to make the the quilt soft. If I'm in a hurry I press it dry no steam. I glue baste my binding in place after sewing it to one side using a small art paint brush.
