I use a glue stick - Elmer's School Glue. I love it. Quick, not messy and holds. Doesn't bother my needle at all. No gumming up, no issues with it going through. I glue the back down, then the next day I do the front. That way I don't have to keep fussing to make sure both sides stay flat. I get the back down and smooth, next day, I do the same with the front.
I used to spray baste, but it got everywhere no matter how careful I was. When my husband came in my craft room one day while I was doing it, he said it was actually foggy in the room from the spray, even though I was doing it next to the fabric and spraying lightly. No more. Now I need to decide what to do with the remaining cans of the spray. I think I have 4 or 5 of them left. (it was cheaper when I was using it to buy them by the case) I don't think I can mail them, so something local, but I also don't think I can give them to goodwill or the like because it is a chemical? I'd love to have a yard sale, for stuff like this and not having to run into the donation centers when I have a lot to go, plus make a little cash, but unfortunately I have crappy neighbors and parking would be an issue.
