I am in the process of binding my first quilt, which I had basted by a long arm quilter. It is 85 x 85, so having it on a long arm frame really helped to keep everything nice and even.
That said, it was so loosely basted that I could not leave the basting threads on the quilt as the material shifted too much and made puckers even before I started quilting on my domestic machine. I left the basting intact on the blocks I was not currently quilting to keep them from "running off", and heavily pinned the block to be quilted. This seemed to work well, but next time I am going to try either the spray adhesive or the glue.
Before I had it basted, I tried the garage floor with painters paper taped down to protect the quilt, but what a literal pain! Good luck with whatever method you use!
