Elmer's glue stick
I am getting ready to quilt a table runner and decided to glue baste with Elmer's glue stick. Since the 80/20 is fairly stable, I held it down with my fingers and smeared a bit of glue every 4 inches. I ironed it after smoothing the backing back over it and it seems to be working well. I don't know if it will be visible in the picture. I will post back after quilting after I decide what I want to quilt, hmmmm, that could take a while. Why is that always the hardest part of machine quilting?[ATTACH=CONFIG]590273[/ATTACH]

I stocked up on white Elmer's glue sticks in the August back to school specials at Walmart. I was getting ready to start quilting when I noticed one end of my runner curved instead of being straight at one end. I tried to peal it up but it was really stuck, I sprayed it with water until it was wet and I was able to carefully peel up the one end and reposition and iron. I have started to quilt it and I am pleased with how it is holding. When I finished, I will post the back. I don't know if I would use it for a full quilt but for small projects I will definately use it again.
