Default Thread basting

I like to use my Q snap floor frame for thread basting if the quilt is fairly small. It only took about an hour to baste my Cat quilt. I start by laying the backing down flat on my ironing surface, smooth the batting over it and then the top. I iron the sandwich and then put safety pins around the perimeter before picking the sandwich up. I then take it to my Q snap and put it on. It is now ready for the machine quilting.
I do like using Hobbs fusible quilt batt but I am out right now. I also like glue basting but I have to wait for it to dry and wash the quilt after quilting. I sometimes use safety pins for small project basting too. All methods have merit.
