I just tried glue basting for the first time in more than 30 years of quilting and I am here to tell you it is the best I have ever been able to manage. So much neater and stronger that spray basting and so much quicker than pin basting and no rusty pins if I don't get to it right away. No blistered fingers either. In fact I have one quilt that is pinned and ready to to quilt and I will be taking it out and glue basting it with out a doubt. You may be happier with your t-shirt quilt doing it this way.
