I never have much trouble getting the top piece down over the glue. I take the center first, pull it down, and then smooth out to the sides.
But I do need a pool noodle. My table is against the wall, so once in a while something falls behind it. There are boxes of stash under there in several spots, so it is a real pain to look for something that may be back there. I want to put a pool noodle over the crack, at least behind where I work.

I think this could help me, even though I don't use glue. On the last quilt I basted, the batting (dream cotton) grabbed the back of the top, and when I went to reposition to straighten out the seams, threads started pulling loose from the seam allowances and sticking into the batting. I suspect it was the difference between the lowest loft, which I usually use, and the next one up, which was fluffier. Every loose thread had been clipped before. I ended up having to compromise quite a bit on straightness in order to avoid pulling the thing apart. So, a big thank-you from me., too.

Hugs,
Charlotte

Tartan,
I've tried the spray basting, and it is so messy. Does the liquid glue work better? Also, how long does it need to sit before you sew?

I use the foam tubes that go around the plumbing pipes to wrap my binding around. Also use it as a "spine" when I make dolls so their heads don't flop.
