I remember my Grandmother using glue to baste her quilts back in the early 1960s. Interesting to see what is old is new again.

Just placed an order for the tips. Can’t wait to start glue basting! I’ve thought about it off and on for a long time and I’m ready to try it finally. I’ve heard people say that it is too finicky and wastes time, but I like precision and I don’t think it will waste any more time than pinning or sitting in front of my machine trying to line pieces just right only to have them shift when I put them under my foot.

@Tina Louise Crawford yes I have and I love it!!! I don’t always glue baste and usually just do when I’m working with something where I want my points to be perfect

I have thought about doing this as I don't like the pins. I think I will like this. You still need to make sure you stitch in the correct place or the points still won't match!

The miracle of perfectly matched seams that can be achieved with your glue tips canNOT be overstated. Before I discovered your tips, I fumbled Very Unsatisfactorily and gloppily :{ with the tip that comes with the glue bottle. The difference in control and precision has warmed my perfectionist heart, reduced piecing stress, and markedly increased my enjoyment of creating beautifully complex blocks. Thank you!

Its amazing that setting the glue can be so quick and that you can sew the glued seam immediately! I assume gluing to the inside of the seam means gluing to the left side of the stitching? Am I correct?
@marisa553811 жыл бұрын
Very nice technique. I will try it. Is it too cumbersome for long seams while assembling a larger quilt? Thank you for this video!
@CristyFincherPurpleDaisies10 жыл бұрын
Hi! You can open your seams, after sewing them, by sliding a wooden cuticle stick, or dull pencil, down the center of the seam. I have a video for it, that I will be uploading soon.

Since I don't have fine motor skills - my hands shake - I'm not sure this would work for me even with a super fine tip. I'm glad it works for others

+Cindy Clark Hi Cindy, take a piece of transparent stiff material, eg. flat side of a box, and using a ruler, cut out a narrow slit with a craft knife. This can act as a guide for piping lines of glue with no mess or overflow on to the rest of the fabric and you can see where you are laying the glue. Hope this helps. Olga Whittaker.

I think I will definitely use this for sewing strips. They always seem to slide and distort on me. I was wondering if this would work on a radiant star? I have not tried one yet because I am afraid I would not get everything to line up. Can anyone comment on that? Thanks for the great, informative video.

Love the technique! Just wondering if you have to wash the glue out of the quilt top before quilting?
@careyr249 жыл бұрын
The glue is basically just like thick starch because it is washable school glue. I have used it on several quilts and not washed prior to longarm quilting. Longarms are industrial machines and had no problem through my glued seams on any of the quilts. Even when I had probably 6 seams meeting at a point.

Cristy swears by Juki. They are great machines. I would guess this is the Juki 2010. They only do straight stitch, perfect for piecing. The fewer things they do, the better they do them.

What does any glue that seeps out do to the iron?
@nybor588510 жыл бұрын
I just started using this technique and honestly the glue that is coming out of the tip is so fine I haven't had any issues with the glue getting on the iron. If it were to get on the iron I'm sure that it would be easy to wipe off with a damp cloth when the iron is cold. I have washed school glue off of hard objects as well as fabric with ease.

Linda Anselm different quilters have different opinions but my favorite KZbin quilter (Leah Day) recommends a dry iron since the steam can sometimes make your pieces wonky.

I looked up Elmer's School glue on a search to find out if it was archival or not. Uh oh, it is NOT archival. So, if you are making a quilt to pass down to heirs, this is not a good idea to use. But, if it is for a child or for just ordinary household use, then go ahead and use the glue.
