I have also used Elmers Washable Glue to baste a lap quilt. I was thrilled with the results and ease! Next, I will try watering it down and spraying that sounds like it would make it even easier! Love the Board Members!!! Oh and yes it washed out beautifully.

Wow, that's a great idea! So many things can be damaged with the spray adhesive - your lungs, your a/c, anything that is within 5 or 6 feet of the spraying area. Your way solves all those problems! Thanks!

Thank you for a great idea! My lungs can't take the chance of adhesive spray and I am all about easy!

BellaBoo..What part Elmers glue to what part water?

I just use basting spray, if it kills me, oh well! I'll get to go be with my DH!

I have a table topper that I need to prepare to quilt (45 X 47) and I hate to pin or baste. My husband always complains when I use the spray. I just may have try this method.

I have used Elmer's glue with applique and I love how it washes out. I never thought about thinning out the glue then spray basting! I, too, love the board members and their great ideas!

I to would like know how much glue to how much water Thank for sharing

I too would be interested in the ratio you used?

Elmer's school glue is not a glue as most know, it's a heavy cream starch. I don't measure the ratio. I keep it as thick as it would go through the spray bottle. The thinner spray is best for smaller baste jobs that can be pressed easy. Sometimes I brushed on the thinned thicker glue for larger areas. I notice the batting make a big difference in how well the glue holds. Batting that has a lot of airyness doesn't hold as strong as the more solid type.
