During the assembling of my quilts I sometimes use Elmer's washable glue so my seams match hopefully perfectly instead of using pins. I also use it during the attachment of the binding so no pins are needed. During quilting I have a metal "L" ruler that helps me keep my sides square with the quilt frame. Also I keep small magnets glued to the handles to keep my scissors, needlenose tweezers and needles nearby. I have laser lites I use at either end when I come to the end of the quilt on the frame to make sure its straight across as it should be.
