Thanks for the tutorial and great discussions!! Love the glue spray idea. Have always pinned and hated pinning but even hated removing the pins even more!

I found the glue sold by the gallon for $11.99 at this link:

No, I quilt and then wash and dry it.

Ive been doing this also! Really like it!! No pins!! I learned to smooth any blobs out so theres no clumps. havent done anything larger than lap quilt so far. thanks for the pictures!!

Love the idea of pastry brush!! Just dont put it back in kitchen! Lol

Thanks to all....will take all of your recommendations and try the Elmer's glue...washable, of course!!! I have not had any luck with any of the other methods...still have puckers with them.

I wonder if you can use the clear elmers glue also?

It should not be a problem as long as it's washable. The problem with clear glue
is that's it's difficult to see where you glued and where you didn't. Maybe that's just me.

WOW Carso, Super (Duper) Member!!! Great recipe!! Thanks for sharing. And NOW, what to do now with all my safety pins? Serendipity! I just read this morning how you can use safety pins to keep bobbins organized with the same thread. Pin through one of the holes in bobbins and close safety pin, then slip the closed safety pin (with the attached bobbin) into the hold of your thread spool. This method may not work on small spools. For small spools you can keep bobbins and like thread together by putting bobbin on the safety pin then enclose the spool "inside" safety pin and close pin. The little spool of thread will be inside safety pin along with the bobbin. I learned tip this from Sharon Pederson when she was speaking about thread control.
