Elmer's School Glue Really Works!
Thanks to all of you who suggested using it for basting. What a great idea!
I used it for my sister's quilt and nothing moved the whole time.
I'm glad I bought a lot of it because it's going to be my new best friend.
Thanks to all!

I also love it-especially for basting my quilts. I like to thin it down about 10-15% so it is a bit easier for me to spread. It is so easy to use and keeps the quilt sandwich flexible as I quilt. Washes out so easily.

I use it to baste my binding to my quilt before I take it to the machine to stitch it down. Saves me from having to pin it, getting pricked by the pins too. I also use it at times when I need to match up stubborn seams. A dab of glue, press with iron and no pinning and I can sew right over it though I try to aim the glue in the seam area so my needle doesn't have to go thru the glue. I've been using Elmer's Glue for years now and when they have the school sales in the early Fall I stock up on Elmer's glue.
