I too like to diamond cross hatch. I have learned a few things on this thread - thanks for posting. The bias never occurred to me either. I have used the carpenter tape, but I don't have much luck with it staying stuck. It just caused me a lot of proplems
BonnieJP - thanks for the link on the glue basting. That roller looks interesting and I have a couple of questions. Does the glue get stiff on the quilt after drying? I only glue baste, but I do get stiff spots. How much do you dilute the glue with water? 50/50?
