basting does slow me down
but I push through
My favorite way is with 505 Spray - that stuff rocks. Unfortunately, I hate to spend the money all of the time to buy it.
I have tried the washable glue, because that cost is much better. I am not sure I am doing it correctly. It takes forever to dry (which is another plus with 505 I can quilt that immediately). Plus I am not too fond of the stiff spots on the quilt when it does dry. I am going to try this again but I may lose interest if I don't figure it out soon
The pin basting is what I use the most - doesn't cost me any extra.
I do feel like the pins add weight and that makes it harder to move around while quilting
I just spread the layers out on my living room floor to pin or spray baste
