I glue baste my quilts using Elmer's Washable School Glue. I dilute it about 50/50, shake it well and drizzle it on. I tried putting it in a spray bottle, but found it was too thick to spray very well.

I think of glue basting as a replacement for pin basting not spray basting so I just drizzle it on in a grid approximating where I would put pins. Once it is dry in my experience it doesn't shift at all. I just did another quilt which is about my 12th or 13th with the glue basting and there is nary a wrinkle on the back and the sewing machine did just fine with it.
Try drizzling on a test piece and see how you like it

I prefer pinning, but it's been hard to do it since my local quilt shop closed (I could use their tables). There is another quilt shop I can go to, but it's some distance. I'm hoping next year to set up a board system to pin large quilts in my garage.

I tried glue spray, but I've not been very successful compared to pins. I avoid spray stuff as it affects the lungs. You cannot avoid breathing it in, even outside.

Thank you, Running 1, I'll search for it now.

Boards and pins is my method of choice. Pretty quick and no wrinkles on the back at all.

I use boards and hand baste with thread I'm trying to use up.

If I am quilting a large quilt, I use backing for the whole quilt, and sandwich the batting for only the center 1/3 of the width. I secure that 1/3 with glue. Then I quilt, by machine, that center third.

This is the way I've found to best have it fit, and move, using my domestic machine.

Then I add the outer third of the batting, glue, and don't even hand stitch it to the center batting if I know there is enough fmq to hold it. Then I fmq that outer 1/3.
Then the other outer 1/3.
Ready for binding

I do have a 67 x 49 desk surface, with formica and I can even iron the glue without damage to the surface.

I do it the Sharon Schamber method. I have a 6' folding table and use that. I need another board. was raining one day and hubs was needing that size board. So rather than trapse through the rain I let him cut it up. I have also done it at my kitchen table and it's relaxing because I can watch a movie while doing this. One thing different I do if I am not going to get to quilting it soon after is to go a head and put a couple holding stitches or a few pins in the center point of the quilt and a couple feet outward. I pin out like a starburst, up and down like a cross then diagonally like an "X". doesn't take that much time if you do it as you go.

I bought a used z44 quilting frame at a thrift store to use for making my large quilt sandwiches since I do not have a large enough space for large quilts. I have layered several on this frame now and it is so easy. I pin some and have thread basted some. Maybe I'll try quilting on it some day. This is so much easier than scooting around on the floor like I used to do in my old house before moving into this smaller place.

I spray baste using June Taylor basting spray. I use large tubes to roll the backing & another for the flimsy. That helps me to spray baste a big quilt in a small space. I've learned to let it dry overnight before quilting it, but my hands don't always work as good as I'd like. This is so much faster and easier on my back and hands.
