I just finished a quilt that I used glue to sandwich the whole thing. Unfortunately, there were a couple of areas that were a little thick with glue. Still had no problems sewing and it washed out with no problems. It's SO nice to not have to worry about fabric shifting when quilting!

Elmers has just this week come out with a School Glue Natural made of 90% plant material (corn). Says it can be used in any place the reg school glue can be used. I will bet it is more expensive!
Who will be the first to try for quilting?
