    Tiny dots of very thin lines of Elmer's washable school glue can be used and then you can quilt it on your regular machine.

    It also works wonderfully for bindings.

    Search the board and you will find tons of info on this.

    Do you apply the glue to the backing or batting (100% polyester ) we do not get Elements but there is other brands of water soluble glue I can use
