When I use glue to baste a sandwich, I drizzle thin lines of glue onto the batting and then pat/smooth the fabric onto the batting....I don't have to worry about wrinkles on the fabric because I can see everything I am doing with it.....I do one entire side whether top or backing....and then do the other complete side.....easier than taping down the top, glue and then batting and still not knowing for sure there aren't wrinkles until done....just my way of making things easier for me.

We don't have Elmer's school glue where I live, so I use washable glue sticks. The important, vital, absolutely essential thing is that the glue be washable, so that it washes out. If in doubt, do a sample.
