I have wondered before if the iron would melt polyester batting.

I made the mistake of using a polyester thread for piecing once.... pressed my seams and all the stitching went away!! Thanks for the tips

Tartan thanks for sharing this and taking great pictures. I've bookmarked this so I can keep up with the quilting part.

I used the Elmer's washable glue w/poly batting and it washed out nicely. I did not, however, use an iron on it, just let it air dry over night and it worked good. Thanks for the information.

It is always nice to have some one experiment so the rest of us don't run into issues later. Thanks!

I used the white Elmers washable glue this weekend, to put together a quilt. Used a white sheet for the center as I didn't want the warmth of batting, but wanted an extremely durable quilt (its for a child). The glue worked fantastic in putting the whole quilt together. Left it overnight to dry, and sewed it today. No puckers, and it was soooo easy to sew as everything stayed put....it's the way I'll be putting my quilts together from now on.

Use a lower heat on the iron so that it won't melt the batting. It doesn't take much heat to get the polyester to dry.
Experiment with scraps.
