My lazy basting
#11
I have also used Elmers Washable Glue to baste a lap quilt. I was thrilled with the results and ease! Next, I will try watering it down and spraying that sounds like it would make it even easier! Love the Board Members!!! Oh and yes it washed out beautifully.

Wow, that's a great idea! So many things can be damaged with the spray adhesive - your lungs, your a/c, anything that is within 5 or 6 feet of the spraying area. Your way solves all those problems! Thanks!

Elmer's school glue is not a glue as most know, it's a heavy cream starch. I don't measure the ratio. I keep it as thick as it would go through the spray bottle. The thinner spray is best for smaller baste jobs that can be pressed easy. Sometimes I brushed on the thinned thicker glue for larger areas. I notice the batting make a big difference in how well the glue holds. Batting that has a lot of airyness doesn't hold as strong as the more solid type.
