I would not be able to get down on the floor to layer my quilts. For small projects I use the basting spray. For larger items/quilts i use the school glue. I have some folding tables and use three of them and just drizzle the glue in back & forth drizzles about 3 inches apart, and smooth it all out with batting and backing and then turn over and do it on the front. Let it dry overnight and then start the quilting. I either put the tables up in the garage or the living room. Outsid if the weather is ok. I dislike this part of quilting also. I would like to quilt by check, however that gets pricey.
