Do you baste your quilt??
#22
I spray baste everything I quilt. I put a safety pin in each corner, whether I am machine quilting it or by hand. The last quilt by hand took me over six months and the spray baste held up just fine. As for the machined ones, I literally spray, sandwich, pin the corners, and drag it over to my little Viking!! A couple of hours later, I'm smilin' and done!

I've done pin basting (not bad), used a basting gun (the first one, which I lost, worked well; recently bought another one and it broke almost immediately; and I often use basting spray. Basting spray is probably my favorite. Don't overspray and you should be okay.
I haven't done any queen-size quilts, large lap quilts are about as big as I make, so can't offer any opinions on how large pieces are most easily basted.
