June,
This sounds like a great idea. I am going to have to try it. I just used 100+ pins to lay out a baby quilt, and am not looking forward to getting stuck 100+ times while I quilt it. Thanks for the tip.

I swipe it on the backing, lay the batting on it and press with my fingers to make sure there is good contact. I then do exactly the same thing with the quilt top. Works for me.

Some girls on another groups were talking and they are using cheap hairspray to baste their quilts. If you are going to wash your quilt when finished ... no problems.

Hmmm....cheap hairspray sounds interesting, may try it, but for now, I'm good with the Elmers!

Another glue stick supporter here.....Dollar General, back to school sales. I stock up for next to nothing.

LOL, I'm with you. I'm way too cheap, what I want is available everywhere, always works and I can see how much is left!!

I don't know where you are in Ontario piker6ca but I live in Northern Ontario (Timmins) & at our Fabricland it is $27.00 but I only buy it when they have their 1/2 price sale. Just some information, I was in our local WalMart Super store & the same can sells for about $16.00 there.
As for it not working well, I have been using it for about 3 years & am VERY happy with the results (except for the fumes) but I leave a window open & have my ceiling fan to help circulate the air.

That's why I use Elmers School Glue. You don't have any toxic fumes
