I don't think you would ruin your quilt. It all washes out. It takes very little washable glue to baste a quilt. If you put Elmer's or glue basting into the search function you will get lots of hits. Also, I think there is a tutorial here on the QB - I gave up pins, thread, and spray basting once I discovered washable school glue. It works best, I've found, on cotton batting. I don't think it would work for hand quilting though.
