    Thank you for showing exactly what you used and how you did it. When you say you hung the quilt on the line to dry do you mean after you rolled it or after you quilted it? Thanks.

    I glue baste my binding before sewing, but it isn't right on the stitching line. I think some people were concerned about the glue gumming up their machines?

    Have been glue basting for a couple years now with no problems at all. I just drizzle it. I am quilting a baby quilt with fleece backing now, it is glue basted and the fleece is holding fine also.

    The quilt sandwich will get stiff if you spread the glue all over. Nothing wrong doing
    it this way when it's a small quilt but you're making a big quilt it gets tricky when
    you have to quilt a large piece of "cardboard". Ask me how I know.
    I prefer to apply the glue in wavy lines. That way the quilt is not so stiff and a lot
    more manageable for quilting.

    I agree with Stitchnripper, been using it for a few years, and will never look back.

I had extra batt at the top and just used clothespins. It did make the sandwich kind of stiff so shoving a large glue basted quilt through the machine would be harder.

    I use the KISS method when glue basting....drizzle right from the bottle full strength onto the batting....diluting and rolling are time consuming and more stuff to clean up for me.

    I bought one of the narrow foam paint rollers for just this purpose. Glad to hear your results. Now, I gotta get busy and dig it out!!
