Elmer's for basting...NOT!
#62
I haven't tried it but am planning on experimenting with a small 'sandwich'. Would it be possible to thin the Elmer's school glue with water.....quite thin, put it in a spray bottle and spray it on as you would basting spray? This has been in the back of my mind for some time. Maybe it wouldn't even go through the spray bottle. Maybe tomorrow I will give it a try.

I tried school glue with poly batting and it didn't work at all. I also think I'm using some sort of NASA-designed quilt top that NO adhesive will adhere to. So I don't know if it's the top or the batting! I am moving away from poly batting and going strictly cotton and prewashing EVERYTHING so hopefully I can try this again!!

Interesting concept. I must try this method on my next quilt. I HATE using pins but have reservations about using 505 again, since some negative comments were posted on this site. I spray lightly but all the same I did not know about all the precautions as the print is so small on the can.
