I obviously used too much school glue...

I may try it again on a small project like a baby quilt and I'll definitely use a new bottle of Elmer's. I even thinned it by half. Live and learn.

I used way too much Elmer's School Glue the first time and had no problem at all. I suspect that your older glue was not School glue, but regular Elmer's Glue. Glad you were able to work around it.

I am watching Sewing with Nancy as I as writing this, and she just had a demo on how to use small pieces of paper backed fusible web to tack a quilt together for quilting. She just took small pieces of the web and put it small peices to the wrong side of the backing fabric and the wrong side of the top fabric, removed the paper and then pressed it. Instead of using Elmer's glue, maybe try this instead.

If you use the Elmer's School Glue, washable, using a very fine line of glue you can sew it easily. I use it all the time. I did buy the cap ends that fit that bottle from "Purple Daisies" online. These caps lets you use a very thin line. Look them up and try again.

Yes, it was Elmer's washable school glue. I would not squirt something on a quilt I had spent hours piecing if I was not 100% sure it was the correct thing to try.
The sandwich did hold together through the quilting and being pushed through the arm of the machine and I have no puckers, I suppose that is the upside.
