Wow--what a great idea. I get impatient at the basting stage--dread pinning--think I might be trying this on my next one.

Thanks I really will have to try this.

I can remember when I first told everyone, about 10 years ago, that I was spray basting my quilts. I got replies like: "Don't do that! it will gum up your machine" or "I would never use that on my machine." I had to reassure them that I wasn't dumping the glue in my machine. lol Same thing happened when I said I used baby powder when I sewed on plastic to make rain coats for the dogs. I tapped my finger in the powder and lightly rubbed the top and bottom of the plastic before I sewed. Non stick. It worked great and my machine is still working just fine.
I bought my first can of spray glue in the automotive dept at Walmart. It was 3.98 a can. The Elmers spray is 14.00 for the same size can. I like the Elmers better because it is a finer spray, just wished the price was lower.

I think I need to try that method.

Always nice to hear a success story to encourage us to try a new method. Anything to eliminate those wrinkles when freemotioning on a DSM!

That sounds safer than using the spray adhesive. BTW, the overspray can ruin your glasses.
I will try this one :-)

Fun Quilt. I love the colors.

DO use only Elmer's School Glue, as you want it to wash out, after you do the stitching. The regular glue will dry hard and not wash out.

Beautiful quilt! You've motivated me to give glue a try!
