I have done it with spray adhesive. I like Elmers purple school glue better. It is cheaper and easier to control. Elmer school glue is made from a starch that washes out completely. I also love Roxannes glue baste it. Roxannes is a small bottle and seems a little expensive but it lasts forever. I can't wait to see what you are making. You have such awesome projects.

I have been using spray for my quilts for about 5 years and have no problems with my needle getting "gummed up" unless I spray too heavily. I learned very quickly that a little spray does just as well as a lot. I really like the stuff. I just stopped at JoAnn's this morning to get a can on sale 50% off.

Yes, I do it all the time. Spray on the back of the applique piece you want to adhere to the back ground. Make a "spray booth" from a large box by cutting off the flaps and putting it on its side. Lay the applique piece in there with the side to be sprayed up. Spray lightly. I use the cheap stuff from Walmart and have not had any problems with gumming or residue after washing. PM me if you want me to look up what it is called.
