I’ve been looking at a few different RUclips videos, using glue to baste quilts and I think yours is the best, because I like the idea of the line of glue along the top of the backing and the front of the quilt to keep it all in place with the batting, and I really love the idea of the pool noodles. Very clever. Thank you, I will definitely be doing this. I’m sick of puckers with spray Basting no matter what method I try, and pinning gets really old.
I've been using school glue for a while. If you didn't want to iron just let it sit 30 minutes and it will be dry. Also a good way to stick binding down before stitching. I do iron that to cure it.
Thank you for making this video! I've had a pieced quilt top finished for years but the thought of getting down on the floor was overwhelming and not something I can do any longer. Pool noodles to the rescue! I'll get some school glue while I'm at it. I can't wait to try this!
Thank you! This is very helpful. I have only finished one quilt because the basting process was exhausting. I only knew about using pins. 😢This will help me finish some projects I left on the shelf.😊
Hi from New Zealand! I had used glue before but I diluted it and then I painted it in. It took days to dry! I really like this method as it is so much easier and faster. Im going to get some oool noodles today. Thank you for this video. 😊
Thank you! I am doing a king size quilt for my daughter. Last big quilt I did I spray basted. Every time I got it out to machine quilt I could not stand the smell and it gave me a migraine until I was done and it took me weeks to machine quilt.
Great idea and video! My cat has asthma so spraying is not an option no matter what it is, also must use unscented products. School glue is brilliant! You answered all my concerns too, I wash my quilts 'cause I like them to pucker up a little like the old quilts did so this sounds perfect! Thank you!
I have been using pipe insulation. I got mine at Home Depot for two or three dollars each. They are 6 feet in length. They work great. I started out using pool noodles but they weren’t long enough for the three yard quilts.
I use school glue for piecing and appliqué but never thought to use it instead of spray basting! Will definitely give this a try! Thank you. Adorable quilt top!!!
Thank you for making this video! I’ve watched a few different ones and yours is the most down to earth one. Question-when you do it on your carpet? Do you lay anything under your backing so the glue doesn’t transfer to it? Also, on the larger quilts, do you have to use more than one pool noodle or is one doable? Thanks again!
I don’t lay anything under. I don’t use globs of glue, so it hasn’t been a problem for me. I also have tried to hook 2 Pool noodles together and it was more trouble than it’s worth. I just use one and it’s fine.
Thanks! I ended up doing it last night with just one for each layer on the carpet and it worked really well! I appreciate your video and your feedback!
This is wonderful. I’ve n ver tried glue basting and have a question. Does the glue change the final texture as in making the quilt feel stiffer in the areas where it is applied and heat set? Thank you for sharing ❤
It can make the area with glue stiff if you use a lot. I only would use this method if washing afterwards. School glue is water soluble so it washes away and the stiffness is gone.
Thank you for doing this video. I used a diluted glue mixture to baste one quilt and I think it might have been a little too wet (it still turned out fine), but I’m going to try just the glue only. Do you find the glue hardens up too much when FMQ? I just don’t want to break a needle. Thanks.

Yes definitely try it! Once I started doing it this way, I never looked back!

Thanks for the tip. It works great. I envy you being able to work on this project on the floor and on your knees!
An ingenious way to baste a quilt sandwich!
I love your quilt pattern! So pretty!

Yay! I’m happy that this was helpful for you!
It is a great method, I do on my placemats all the time. I still have alot of spray quilt glue so when I'm done, I'll do the glue method!
I use glue to help when binding a quilt. Love this idea for basting the quilt. Gonna try on my next one. Thank you.
I wish I knew this before I made my first quilt 2 years ago. Hands down the best quilt basting.
Thank you! It’s literally the only way I can baste now!

Great idea using the pool noodles - very helpful. Thanks so much!!

Oh nooo…. That is why I don’t want to use spray! Hope this method works out for you!
Really love your tutoring. The quilt is adorable
Interesting never used blue. The pool noodle is good idea. Thanks for video
Thanks for watching! ❤️

I’m so glad this was helpful for you!
Reading the comments, I’m glad I found this before going and getting spray basting glue..

Oh good idea!

This is amazing. Thank You. Never thought of this.
Thanks crystal, I’m gonna try this next time. Great tip
Gonna try this! Thanks!
Wow, I can’t wait to try this! I never have enough pins
Looks very interesting! As a new quilter, it may take a minute for me to wrap my head around this! 💝
You should try it on a smaller project to see if it works for you!
Great idea! I’m trying this.
I love it!
Thanks!
So cool! THanks
Wow! This is new information to me! I’m so excited to try this on my next project! Thank you!
Let me know how you like it! ❤️

@@stephaniemaddox5648 awesome! I’m glad it worked out for you!
When you heat set with the iron, is it drying the glue?
Yes it does.

It can make the area with glue stiff if you use a lot. I only would use this method if washing afterwards. School glue is water soluble so it washes away and the stiffness is gone.
Does the glue wash out or does it interfere with the sewing needle? Thanks for videos.
It doesn’t interfere unless you glob it on there. Then it can cause a little hard spot. And as long as you use school glue, it will wash out easily.
Thank you for doing this video. I used a diluted glue mixture to baste one quilt and I think it might have been a little too wet (it still turned out fine), but I’m going to try just the glue only. Do you find the glue hardens up too much when FMQ? I just don’t want to break a needle. Thanks.
No it’s never gotten hard enough to break a needle. But I put very thin strips of it. I never put globs in one spot.
@@crystalheartchannel ok. Thank you!
