Onebyone, I'm with you on the glue basting. A poster a while back reminded us that glue basting replaces pin basting, not spray basting, so just drops or a grid will work great. I never thin and spray, just drizzle or drip onto the batting. It is the easiest I've tried and gives me the best result.
