This board is marvelous for new tips and tricks of the trade. which part you missed and if you overspray then it becomes too wet plus you have to dilute the glue a lot more to go through a spray without clogging. Another reason I like to dilute the glue is to avoid those hard spots where the needle can break. A little goes a long way with Elmer's. |

Sharon Schamber has new tips for the Elmer's bottles that work great and to me, they are worth the $$. Before I ordered hers, I wasted more money on gas just trying to find them around town and I wasted money trying other types of tips which didn't work.

Thank you for the tut. Going to do this on my next quilt. Thanks
|
Has anyone tried to dilute the glue enough to spray it on when sandwiching a quilt?
|
Perfect Tutorial MaryAnn. Next time I do a quilt I am going to try the board method by Sharon S. and use the Elmers glue method as I go. See how that works.
|
thanks. I just Elmer Glued the binding on a twin size quilt (my first attempt at this). What an easy way to go. No pins, and my needle had no problems pushing through the binding fold. Elmer's glue is a keeper in my book.

Thank you for sharing... I use the Roxanne glue tip/bottle NOT THE GLUE. I use Elmer's in the Roxanne bottle.
Reason, the Roxanne glue is the same as Elmer's. I found this out from the company that makes the glue. They were going to build a plant in a city I work for, until they found that the city water had too much salt in it. I asked the company owner about the water/dairy based glues on the market and he told me about Roxanne's glue. (BTW R. glue is not owned by Roxanne anymore) I do love their tips.....very fine line. Back to school is a great time to purchase your Elmer's glue...lots of sales. |
I am hooked on this way of basting my quilts. I buy Elmer's washable school glue by the gallon now.
|
This is one of those depends questions.
If I had an 8 oz washable Elmer's school glue container would that be way too much for say a queen quilt or would I need two? Trying to see how much is too much! |
