Basting is my nemesis -
I too hate basting by machine. I love spray basting, but I also like the method Sharon Schamber put up on Youtube, a great method of hand basting using two flat boards to roll the quilt on so you can control the layers as you baste. You can do this seated comfortably, and it works for any size of quilt.
