Default Question about Glue Basting

Can you re-position the pieces if you get a wrinkle? It seems sort of permanent til washed out.

You should be able to spray water on the area to lightly dampen. That should allow the glue to release so you can fix the wrinkle.
I use an old starch bottle and fill with water.

Hopefully, the fabrics wont run when you wet them. Good luck!

I love glue basting and I reposition wrinkles all the time that is one on the nice things about glue basting. It holds tightly but is easy to reposition. Wet it lightly and pull apart. It still may be a bit stiff or have a fairly good hold but then give it a good pull and it will come apart. Re-glue and start that area over again. Since I started glue basting I haven't done anything else.
