I don't remember who posted about this "technique" but girl, you have totally changed my world!! Many thanks, whomever it was.

This is a twin-size quilt I made for a benefit auction. I had been using Sharon's method for basting with the boards but still always managed to get a wrinkle or pleat. This one here was glue-basted with the Elmers school glue, using the bottle as it was bought. No special tip or nothing. It turned out beautifully and has not a one, wrinkle, pleat... nothing. I "basted" it using a 4" grid, on both sides of the batting while it hung on the design wall. Took maybe 2 hours to do both sides, left it hanging overnight then quilted. I highly recommend this method, and will be using it from here on out.

1st is quilting-in-progress

2nd is front after quilting complete

last is back after quilting complete. (Wet spot on back is from spraying with water to remove marking.)

​Great quilt and great quilting. I am glad the glue basting worked for you. I have not tried it but after seeing your success, it is looking attractive!

Thank you for the tip on the glue basting.

So....I'm not really understanding...you put elmer's glue on just the batting? then lay your quilt top on it? and then your back? please if there's a tutorial on this I would love to have it. Your quilt is very nice.

Love your quilt and the fabric you chose. I have been using the Elmer's Glue since I read about it here on the Board and very pleased with the results.
