This is how I do it also. I might add, I did a lap size quilt a couple years ago, glue basting it as stated by Buckeye Rose. Then life got in the way. I didn't get back to it until perhaps nearly a year. The glue had turned to an almost rusty color. I damped one or two spots, and it seemed to come out ok, so I quilted the rest of the quilt, washed it, and it came out of the washer in perfect condition. I breathed a sigh of relief! I Love Elmers. Will never pin another quilt.
