Frequently Asked Questions
- Glue basting or spray basting?
- Control — the precision tip puts adhesive exactly where wanted with no airborne overspray, the deciding factor in enclosed studios and around longarm machinery spray fumes don't belong near.
- Does dried glue bother the needle?
- Applied as directed — small dots, spaced, out of the main quilting path — no. Heavy lines of glue are the mistake; dots are the method.
- What's the application pattern?
- Small dots every few inches across the batting, press the layer down, let dry — the dried grid holds the sandwich flat through handling and loading.
- Appliqué use?
- A dot behind each piece holds position without the pin-shift that ruins placement under the presser foot — many appliqué quilters use it as their primary positioning method.
- Bottle sizing?
- 2oz suits home quilters and small studios — dots go far. Volume basting operations step up to larger bottles.
