By the way, Lorchen, did I land in your spam folder? I sent you a message some days ago (actually on the 9th) and have been wondering if you were out of your house all the time

Lorchen OFFLINE Posts: 2639 Thank you received: 50	Interesting that you say, NOT to glue directly onto the batting. If using spray glue, that's exactly what to do.

When I glue baste I do everything that Sharon Schamberg does in her videos, but instead of using a needle and thread to hold the layers together, I use elmers glue. I use thin lines & I glue fairly generous swirls of glue. I also glue the back to the batting, iron till all is dry. Then I glue the top to the batting, iron till dry. I DO NOT glue directly on to the batting, I only put glue on the top or the back. This really works well for me,, & because I only do a small area at a time I have much more control over the wrinkles.

Margo OFFLINE Posts: 6522 Thank you received: 129	Before Sharon Schamber started selling the glue tips, she had a video showing how she "retrofitted" the tip of her bottles. That video is no longer available, but I have added the info in my TQS classroom: http://www.thequiltshow.com/os/images/lessons/7/1097/1097_2011_tqs_bom_2_elmers_washable_glue_bottle_retrofit.pdf

The one for the gluing binding is

All I know about the glue tip she uses is " plastic glue tips can be found at purpledaisiesllc" I guess it's a website, supposedly her daughter's.

How to care for the glue tip and use it for basting patches

Still looking for the photos of the gal gluing her quilt with Elmer's glue, maybe in a blog.

Ladywingnut OFFLINE Posts: 173 Thank you received: 70	I have used elmer's glue to baste quilts, & have had great success...I just use thin lines of it on my layers, I work in small sections, & iron well...I really think that this is a much better method than using spray glues which get every where & their fumes are toxic!!
