I use susan shamber's method of thread basting. My quilts don't shift as i am quilting - i hand quilt. I am currently working on a king size quilt. I did go to the church to baste it because i could use the tables in the parish hall. Had an office chair w/ wheels on it and could wheel back and forth...THAT was the cat's meow!! Took about 4 hours to bast the quilt.
I don't like pins because for a bedsize quilt, they're too heavy. Don't want spray baste because I don't want all that overspray every where. The glue - i can't imagine trying to hand quilt thru the areas of hardened glue - i remove the basting threads as i go.
