I use Machingers gloves and Super Slider. The main thing is to have no weight pulling on the quilt. Have all the quilt supported level with the machine. You can use a folding table or your adjustable ironing board. I quilt with my machine table in the corner that way the quilt doesn't drop off the back. Spray basting is messy. Try using Elmer's School glue next time or Pinmoors. No need to do the tedious basting methods anymore.
