I glue baste my quilts. The back and quilt top are coated in a thin layer of glue and then pressed dry. Not one little bit of fabric will shift or bunch. It's like quilting flat paper. I don't have to worry about any puckers, folds, or 'pillows'. I can finish quilting a throw size quilt in about an hour doing swirls or straight lines. Right now I'm machine quilting starting in the middle and making one big spiral outward. I'm using the walking foot as the width of the stitch lines to keep me straight. I learned this in a Catherine Redford class. I use this to have glue on every thread of my quilt.

Big Horn 19044 Glue Roller Bottle, 8-Ounce


Thanks to a poster here for the tip to use the roller bottle. It changed my basting world.
