I am currently working on a king size quilt -- 110" x 110". I used 1300 of the curved #1 pins and of course the Kwik klip. It did make the quilt heavy, but once I sew the stabilizing lines, I was able to remove about half of them. I go to all this trouble becuase I have been very sucessful in the back not shifting and having a smooth back when I sew.
I avoid the sprays and glue because I have a top loading washer that I do not believe would get all of the glue out and I worry about long term if any is left in. My washing machine is a new Maytag, but I just am not sure....
I have a top loading HE new Maytag washer and I glue baste. When I wash the quilt I use the bulky setting which adds more water to the tub. I use warm water. When I used cold water like I usually do when I wash the glue did not fully dissolve but it does with warm water. I understand your concern but it does work with your type of washer. I have not tried a king size quilt however. Queen size yes.
