I know this thread is about gluing and your quilt looks great but what pattern did you use? It's interesting.

Nice quilt and I too am a new fan of Elmer's School Glue for basting. Just like you did, straight out of the bottle in a grid. Easy peasy.

I don't remember who posted about this "technique" but girl, you have totally changed my world!! Many thanks, whomever it was.
This is a twin-size quilt I made for a benefit auction. I had been using Sharon's method for basting with the boards but still always managed to get a wrinkle or pleat. This one here was glue-basted with the Elmers school glue, using the bottle as it was bought. No special tip or nothing. It turned out beautifully and has not a one, wrinkle, pleat... nothing. I "basted" it using a 4" grid, on both sides of the batting while it hung on the design wall. Took maybe 2 hours to do both sides, left it hanging overnight then quilted. I highly recommend this method, and will be using it from here on out. 1st is quilting-in-progress 2nd is front after quilting complete last is back after quilting complete. (Wet spot on back is from spraying with water to remove marking.) |

The above thread cautions about using Elmers for basting the whole quilt -- just for appliques or binding. Are there instructions on using it for a whole quilt?

Very very nice.
