Gluing... Instead of Basting a Quilt?!

I recently came across a quilting tutorial on using glue to fix fabric to quilt batting instead of basting it- something I've never tried. (This glue is intended for child crafts, so it is even edible!) Aother blog suggests that washable glue is much safer than spray quilters' glue, often found in quilt stores, adding that the spray should only be used in well-ventilated areas and never by pregnant women. 

I headed for my stationery drawer to see if we had any Elmer's glue. We didn't - but we did have other glues (including glue sticks) that were non-toxic and washable.

Now I'm looking forward to giving glue-basting a try!
