She called me back, and said to went to the automotive store and bought what they call glue spray for the inside of your care overhead liner. (This is for the inside of your car when the top of your ceiling comes down and hits you in the head)
It is the same as glue spray for 1/4 of the price. I think she
said she paid $3.00- $4.00 for a large can.
I told her I would pass this on. same product for 1/4 of the cost.

Use a temporary spray glue such as such as Sulky. I use this often when embroidering to attach fabric to stablizer. It does not hurt machine or needles and will wash out. There are also several other brands. If you do a search, I'm sure you will find them.

From a one time upholster, I would not advise the auto glue on your quilt. You might save a little money on the glue, but I think would ruin your quilt. It is meant to hold something in place permanently.

Elmers makes a spray glue that I have used when making banners or wall hangings...use it to hold applique pieces from moving....did not gum up my needle....for a simple holiday banner did not want to waste my expensive basting spray....was using my KK2000 spray also yesterday for use on something when you want to stick to disappear in 24 hours....

Why do we try to cut corners on our daily supplies when we've paid thousands for our machines. I doubt that the car glue is the same as the quilting glue. Mainly because the application has a different purpose. The quilting glue is temporary and washes out. The car glue is meant to hold the lining on permanently.
Why take the chance of damaging our machines.
Of course, if the project is a wall hanging or "art quilt" not meant for washing, then a craft glue could be used. Be careful about putting it back under the needle though.
