I use pipe insulation and put a piece of pvc pipe inside for stabilization and roll my quilts on that to sandwich them. Works great. I cut them in different sizes according to the size of my quilt so I have two or three different ones I can use. I do the Sharon Schamber method but pin rather than baste.

Donnasue, some use the ELMER's washable glue straight from the bottle. I am working on using it to spray but so far I dilute it 1 part glue to 3 parts water and put it in a small roller paint tray. I use a small foam roller to do a light coat on my batting (just barely moistened when I feel it with my hand). Since it is not polyester batt, I go over it with my iron to both smooth it and to slightly dry it. I let mine dry overnight hanging up so both sides get air circulation for a small quilt. For a large quilt I leave it laying out all day and all night flipping over in between to dry both sides. You know it's dry when you try to lift a tiny corner and it is stuck well. I still put a few safety pins around the edge in case I catch it while working. You do need to wash your quilt after using the glue basting.

Thank you for the tip, I guess I need a trip to the dollar store.

I've been wanting to try Fons & Porter's tip about using a pool noodle on the knee lever of my sewing machine. This basting tip is great too! I'm just waiting for the stores around here to start putting out the noodles... of course, it is snowing today...LOL!

DonnaC, you might need to move south!

Well that's using your noodle!

I use two of them together for bigger quilts.

Wow! I shoulda thought of that! I glue baste everything and that is the only problem I've ever had! Not any more...thanks for sharing!
