I glue baste with Elmer's washable glue. I basted a queen size quilt last night in 25 minutes from start to finish and that included setting up two folding tables. I have tried pins, thread, clip gun, fusible, pinmoors, and spraying. Elmer's is the only way for me. The quilt I hand quilted I had a longarmer baste it for me. My DD used my curved pins with the colored jackets on them to cover completely the front of a tee shirt to wear for some school day event. They are still on the shirt, good storage for them. LOL
