You might prefer to use a while thread to baste, because sometimes colored thread will leave a residue when it is pulled out. A large cone of white basting thread is not very expensive and will last for ever so long--unless you make a quilt about every month. LOL

Now, my question is....what else can I use besides safety pins? I want to finish this runner today, not in 3 years. I tried some spray starch. By the way I have 4 cans of that; thought it might make the batting and top & bottom stick at least a little bit. Help!!!

Thanks everyone for all the great ideas! I just basted a lap quilt last night and my fingers are sore. I am going to try spray basting next time. I have not quilted in a few years and all these new products have come out!
