Crossing my fingers
Decided to jump in with both feet and try basting a whole quilt (52x72 lap quilt) with only Elmer's School Glue. It's for my aunt for Christmas and I'm running out of time for all the things I'm making for everybody. I would have preferred trying this experiment on something for me in case it doesn't work as well as I hope, but if this works, this could be the avenue to getting a lot more quilts done! Wish me luck! 😊

It always a bit nerve racking when you are tackling anything new... Luck be with you! Let us know how it works for you.
|
I definitely will let y'all know how it goes.
|
Are you sure it's worth the risk? I tried using spray glue to baste layers together for a quilted bag and it totally ruined it. The outside fabric puckered up on the batting, and was impossible to straighten out once the bag was finished. I won't use any kind of glue ever again.
|
Hope it's worth the risk! I already have 3/4 of it done.
|
I am anxious to see if it works. If so, that is soooo much easier than pinning.
|
I have basted several using Elmer's School Glue. Works great.....no pin, no puckers......it doesn't get any better than that!
|
I just basted another one with Elmer's School Glue. I am happy with this method so far. I've done 4. The biggest was lap sized but it didn't fit on my table so had to do in sections.
|
I'm jumping in with a King sized tomorrow. Lots of starch, lots of glue!
|
How do you put the glue on? I haven't seen anything about this method.
