I do a lot of machine quilting. I glue baste the quilt all over. it can't move or shift. It's like sewing on paper. I wash it and it becomes crinkly and soft. I use a glue roller about three inches wide and roll every inch of the top to the batting and the back to the batting. A little prep work gluing and excellent quilting for the time spent. Oh I glue base the quilt sandwich to quilt on my Cutie Frame too. Makes a world of difference by taking the fussy out of the hooping.
