I am quilting my experiment today with my walking foot. The front is stuck really well and I am not having any trouble sewing through the glue. The 505 on the back is not sticking as well because the batt is polyester. 505 sticks to polyester but because the polyester fibers shift, the fabric can shift as well. You can see the one spot above the umbrella where the backing has a little extra puffiness. I may go back and fix it later. I will post another picture when I finish the quilting. I am taking a break to post because I ran out of bobbin thread, of course.

It didn't turn out too bad. On a whole the clear Elmer's glue front stuck better to the polyester batt than the 505. I would probably use it again with a few cautions. I wouldn't use glue on a solid back or a quilt front with lots of solid fabrics as the glue stains can remain even after washing. I would definitely wash the quilt after quilting because it feels kind of like Cornflakes in the sandwich. Elmer's washable glue would work best with a cotton or cotton blend batt I think.

I surely appreciate the warning here. My mother used to say, "Experience is a dear school and some fools go to no other."
I am not one that has to try everything for myself. I like it when others share theirs with me. Example: i developed a new procedure at work for a product that saved time, waste and ergonomic stress on hands. It took the people in my department two years to finally start using the very simple thing I had started to do. They noticed I was getting good results. But two years is a slow learning curve in my book. I believe in gathering as much knowledge from as many places you can and share what you know with others!:D |
Great info, thank you!
