Thanks for your tip, Alyce!

I use the glue full strength drizzled sort of in a grid pattern on the batting and smooth the top or backing. I lay it all out on my table. Smooth it. No clamping or tape. Then pull back about half and drizzle on the glue. Then pull up that half and smooth it all out. Flip it over and do the other side. No ironing. It dries overnight. It goes pretty quick. My biggest is a large queen size and it worked great. No rollers. I get the small bottles when I can find them for a dollar. It takes between one and two bottles. I don’t dilute it. I think of it as replacing pin basting not spray basting. I taught two of my friends to do it. They were surprised it was so easy.

I do as Stitchnripper does. I love that technique.

Thanks for the explanation, Alyce. It sounds very doable. I may try it soon.
