I just finished my first quilt using only Elmer's School Glue for basting my quilt sandwich. Not a pin anywhere and it is smooth, smooth, smooth! Usually, I thread baste because I don't like machine quilting around all the pins I used to baste with. Didn't notice any drag or anything when I went through the glue. I have a 6' banquet table that I baste on, and I did it in sections - glued 1/3 of quilt starting in the middle and let it dry an hour or so. I will DEFINITELY be doing this again...forever! The quilt I just finished is roughly twin size. It's technically a lap quilt, but I like them long enough to tuck under feet and go all the way to my chin, plus tuck around whoever while they're laying on the couch for a nap, LOL. I was making tons of doll clothes in between quilting, so it got moved on and off my sewing table and nothing moved. It was wonderful.
