I use basting spray (505) but it is difficult to control the spray.

I pin baste small projects, we know the chore to take the pins out.

I haven't sew-basted because I think all those long stitches would drive me bonkers!

I think someone needs to invent a paint on glue substance to baste with - something that washes out but will hold the layers together...

I've asked my local longarmers about basting a quilt for me and they just laugh! It seems this is just Not Done in this neck of the woods :shock:

Any more ideas????
