I have used Elmers School Glue to baste ny last 8 quilts. Like other i use a hot iron to help smooth and dry the glue. I use it straight from the bottle. The downside is you have to wait for your quilt to dry. I usually let it sit overnight. The plus side is it is so inexpensive. About 1 or 2 dollars a quilt. The other plus is you don't have the horrible spray basting 505 smell. I use Crayola markers to mark my quilt as well. Saving money on basting and marking, means more money for threads and fabrics. Were retired. I have to stetch my dollars. When the binding is complete, I wash the quilt. This allows me to check for any boo boos.
