basting spray and glue wash out after the quilt is quilted- unless you are making a wall hanging that will not be laundered you would not want to use anything that would be permanent. fusible washes out too. you can use glue, spray, fusible batting, pins or thread to baste your quilt for quilting. for quilting your quilt on your own you could use wavy lines down your braids, or down the braid segments. stitch in the ditch, with something curvy in the sashing strips...most any pattern would work on your quilt- it is 'busy enough' to hide any boo-boo's you may make and be a good project to 'practice' on. if you want to send it to a long-arm quilter check with local quilt shops to see who they recommend.
