I use spray spray baste for the quilt part. then I use elmers for the binding. You squeeze out a thin line about 6-8" long. Fold it over and iron it dry. It will hold for years.......just ask me.....I know. LOL

I'm a beginner so I want to learn how to make consistent 1/4" seams, cut accurately every time, etc. And I am getting better with each effort, so I'm making progress. I'm not a perfectionist, but I would like to be proficient in the basics, then advance from there.

I am working to improve my FMQ. Sending out to a long armer or purchasing one are not possibilities for me so improving is important to me. Also to keep increasing accuracy, hand stitching, in short to keep learning and improving!

I would love to be able to be more confident with my quilting. My goal is to be able to see a pattern that I like, be confident enough in my skills to know that I can make it and not hesitate to do so.

Hello.. I just used Elmer's glue to baste a quilt for the first time. It worked wonderfully, but I am wondering if there is a way to apply it more evenly.. mine was sort of clumpy in spots. I would also love to tackle FMQ. The shop where I purchased my machine from said that it is capable of FMQ and that she has seen some people's FMQ that is just beautiful. I have practiced but always chicken out when it comes to a "real quilt" I don't want to mess up my project (I have quilted a quilt and ended up hating it - it ruined the whole quilt for me)
Put the glue in a bowl and use a paint brush to brush it on, maybe even had a few drops of water.
