I just don't know how the wear and tear would be of this kind of blanket.

I've used electric blankets(removing wires), wool and blends but personally speaking I wouldn't use the microfiber blankets.

I have used the microfiber on the back of a baby quilt using glue and it worked out great. The blanket still looks good after washing numerous times.

Yes to glue basting! I have had great results.

I've used both school glue and spray adhesive. For me the clean up factor on the spray adhesive was significant.- still have some discoloration on my plastic table from the overspray.

One little note about glue basting. When I started to use glue basting, I loved the speed and efficiency, but squeezing that bottle just tore up my hands, so I looked around for a better way to dispense it. I bought a gallon of Elmer's school glue on Amazon for about $12, and put it in a condiment dispenser bottle. It even has a little cap to keep it from drying out. Much easier to glue baste now.

School glue is much less expensive and I don't have to deal with fumes, overspray and mess that you have with aerosol sprays or non-aerosol sprays for that matter.

I drizzle it on like this also. I go back and forth in prescribed areas at a time. A quarter or an eighth of the quilt is large enough to work with at one time. I go over it with my finger (or a couple of fingers) to flatten out the globs so that there are no big globs in the finished sandwich. Then smooth down the layer in place. Use an iron to heat it enough to start the drying process. The glue washes right off your hands, and you can almost not see it on the quilt even before you wash it.
