I have been using it for so many things this past 18 months. Works like a charm. And, I agree, no sticks!

How does glue basting compare to using spray (aside from being much cheaper)? And do you really use the glue to baste an entire project, or just certain parts (seams/binding/applique)?

Give it a try it is really great!!!!

I just finished a quilt that I used glue to sandwich the whole thing. Unfortunately, there were a couple of areas that were a little thick with glue. Still had no problems sewing and it washed out with no problems. It's SO nice to not have to worry about fabric shifting when quilting!

Picked up a bottle of Elmers School Glue last week. It sat on my desk staring at me so I finally got brave, took my quilt that still needed borders off the design wall and glued the first border on. NEVER, EVER, will I pin a border again. Oh my gosh, it was so nice to sew a border on and not get stuck with a pin in the process! Thanks to everyone for posting about the glue!! :thumbup:

I have the glue but have been forgetful about using it until I get stabbed by the pins! Will definitely try it on next quilt.

I just bought my first bottle of Elmer's glue. I have a quilt top almost finished so I'm going to try it on that one. Glad to hear someone else just tried it and liked it.

Elmers has just this week come out with a School Glue Natural made of 90% plant material (corn). Says it can be used in any place the reg school glue can be used. I will bet it is more expensive!
Who will be the first to try for quilting? |
I just saw on fons n porter pam mashie was the guest and she showed after you put on the binding then zigzag the seam with fuiseable thread in the bobbin then just turn binding to back and iron;elmers glue works just as good and cheaper then the thread i'm still learning but elmers glue is my best friend
