When I use glue to baste a sandwich, I drizzle thin lines of glue onto the batting and then pat/smooth the fabric onto the batting....I don't have to worry about wrinkles on the fabric because I can see everything I am doing with it.....I do one entire side whether top or backing....and then do the other complete side.....easier than taping down the top, glue and then batting and still not knowing for sure there aren't wrinkles until done....just my way of making things easier for me.

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!

We don't have Elmer's school glue where I live, so I use washable glue sticks. The important, vital, absolutely essential thing is that the glue be washable, so that it washes out. If in doubt, do a sample.

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!! ![Thumb Up](https://cdn.quiltingboard.com/images/smilies/thumbup.png)
