Here is another economical way to sandwich your quilts.
3 cups of water
1/2 tsp salt
8 ounces or rubbing alcohol
clean spray bottle
- In a pot place 2 cups of water and 1/2 tsp of salt bring to a boil and reduce to a gentle boil.
- In a gravy shaker (or a jam jar) put 1 cup of cold water and 3 tbsp of flour - shake until the flour and water are combined.
- Whisk the flour mixture into the gently boiling water like you are making gravy and let it cook until the consistency of gravy/egg whites/ thin gruel.
- Remove from the heat and let it cool down to room temperature.
- In a clean spray bottle add 8 ounces of rubbing alcohol and the cooled flour mixture, gently shake and go sandwich a quilt.

PS
I found the recipe from a woman who was making a quilt as you go and she said she had had no trouble. I have been using this method for over six months now and have left the sandwiched quilt for up to a month before I have finished it and washed it. I also read that the alcohol is supposed to deter the possible growth of mold. I live in soCal so not too moldy of a climate here. I really like this method the best of anything I do. I do iron the sections as I go along because I want to get right to FMQ the next day. This method makes the flattest sandwiches ever, good luck your project.
