I find it easier too. As long as you baste it well so it doesn't shift, it shouldn't be a problem. On my last quilt (the one in my avatar), I used water soluble thread to baste it across the width. Then I stitched in the ditch with regular thread on the dividers for the length. That held it in place perfectly while I was quilting. When done, I washed and all the basting was gone. It's a great way to baste!
