Some good info. to be had here. I have the items I need to glue baste, but I only ever planned to do small areas; I never, ever thought to do an entire quilt. Except for when stabilizing machine embroidery, I am anti-spray, so I've been pin-basting my quilts for many years. This washable glue method is an alternative I might try, so am tickled to be able to refer to this thread. Thank you, Jan, for the question and to those of you who gave detailed responses.
