I obviously used too much school glue...
 

Because my quilt is stiff in small spots and 2 of my machines refused to sew over them without skipping stitches. It was older glue - maybe 2 years old but a new container and it was Elmer's. I tried to FMQ using my Pfaff 6120 but it skipped. I tried a larger needle with no change, so I pulled out a Singer 15-91 figuring it would chew through the glue like butter. Nope. I used a size 14 needle and bumped it up to a 16 before I gave up on using the Singer.

As my last resort I pulled out my Pfaff 1222E. I put a size 14 needle in, dropped the dogs, and we were off to the races! I so love that machine. I don't know what I will do if anything happens to it. The Pfaff 6120 is a great machine too, but it doesn't have the oomph! of the 1222E.

I won't be using school glue again on a large project, I'll stick with spray basting. Whether it was user error (most likely) or the fault of the machines i used, I spent too much time I will never get back fooling with the results of the glue.

I soooo know what you mean about wasting time...

Oops, sounds like to much glue!! LOL

You've convinced me to never use glue!! LOL

Spray some water on the blobs and it should help soften them. I found that out when I used glue and marked my quilt and sprayed water on the markings and the glue un-stiffened!

Are you going to the Pigeon Forge show?

When is it? If it is this weekend - no. We are under a snow advisory up here. Again.

No, it's the 12-16th. If I go, it will be my first quilt show! Whoo hoo!

Why don't we plan to go together? I can pick you up if Dave doesn't want to go with you and you don't want to drive by yourself.

Sounds great! He wants to go (he's my enabler!!). If you pick us up, we'll pay for parking!

Oh gosh, please give the glue another chance!! Go really easy on it, you don't need a lot. I love it so much more than any other method and I haven't had a problem with it at all with the quilting. Many, many of us on here have switched to the glue.
