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!!

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?
