I use NJ Quilters method also. I pin baste. This method has the big advantage that you are not crawling around the floor, so easy on the back. It helps to have a table you can stand at. I use a table with crates underneath. I use it for cutting,ironing and basting. I've never had wrinkles in any of the quilts and I am not a meticulous quilter. I know this method wouldn't work with spray basting and I don't think it would work for glue basting. You can have several people pinning at once. Make sure you get the safety pins made for this. Pinmoors might be good too. The pinning is hard on the hands.

After you pin you can either stitch in the ditch to anchor it or baste by machine. I've basted with water soluble thread.

Its time consuming but but it works.
