That happens when using too much glue. Try with a very small line of the Washable Elmer's and you may find that this process works very well. Also, heat set as you go. :)

exactly, apply lightly in a thin line..and heat set. I sit in my chair and lower the ironing board, and do it while watching tv..

I found my tips at my local art supply store. They look a little different but work just the same and cost is comparable too.

Could you use the elmer's glue to baste a quilt in sections instead of pinning or basting? like adding a touch of glue and ironing? Thanks.

I found them today, right where you said they were, in the paint section in Joanns. $3.99, and had a coupon! Thanks so much! i use the glue for all my bindings..this will make it come out lighter and more precise...

Well, maybe, however the 505 spray baste works very well, have you tried that?

How did you use the glue on the corners?

I had the little metal tips that Sharon uses for her glue basting and found that it took a lot of "squeeze power" to get the glue to come out, so I found a plastic tip from a paint bottle and cleaned it up well and use it instead.

Wouldn't you know . . .just came from Hobby Lobby today-now find this thread . . .timing is everything, and I'm usually slow-oh well, next trip to that town. :cry:

I am new to quilting and never heard of "GLUE BASTING". Is there somewhere I can learn more about this. The "HOW TO DO IT" part is what I need to learn. Or really any information on it would be nice to learn. I have learned so much from all of you. I really want to thank you all. This is such a nice place to visit and learn from.

You might be able to...but I question how well it would work on the batting, it is a different type of fiber... You can certainly give it a go and see if it holds :D:D:D
