Wow, I like that. Of course, my favorite part was that it can be used as hair glue. What the heck is hair glue? lol

Here is another economical way to sandwich your quilts.
3 cups of water 1/2 tsp salt 8 ounces or rubbing alcohol clean spray bottle - In a pot place 2 cups of water and 1/2 tsp of salt bring to a boil and reduce to a gentle boil. - In a gravy shaker (or a jam jar) put 1 cup of cold water and 3 tbsp of flour - shake until the flour and water are combined. - Whisk the flour mixture into the gently boiling water like you are making gravy and let it cook until the consistency of gravy/egg whites/ thin gruel. - Remove from the heat and let it cool down to room temperature. - In a clean spray bottle add 8 ounces of rubbing alcohol and the cooled flour mixture, gently shake and go sandwich a quilt. |

carslo thanks for this recipe. I don't think it would dry any faster because you have 3 cups water (24 oz.) to 8 oz alcohol would it?

If I want it to dry faster so I can FMQ that day, I iron each section after I spray it :) |

PS I found the recipe from a woman who was making a quilt as you go and she said she had had no trouble. I have been using this method for over six months now and have left the sandwiched quilt for up to a month before I have finished it and washed it. I also read that the alcohol is supposed to deter the possible growth of mold. I live in soCal so not too moldy of a climate here. I really like this method the best of anything I do. I do iron the sections as I go along because I want to get right to FMQ the next day. This method makes the flattest sandwiches ever, good luck your project. |

I'd love to see a candid-camera type segment of all of us with our glue bottles, spray bottles, brushes, toothpicks, wrenches, etc. :)
