I've found it in some local quilt shops, and online at Red Rock Threads. Other online shops have it, but the shipping at Red Rock is less. Here is a link to their site.

I hand baste with water soluable. didn't think it would work in the machine - I thought it would break. cool! Gonna try that.
It works in the machine! It does break occasionally, I just rethread and keep going. Just don't lick the end before you thread the needle! LOL

I usually do - as LivelyLady said, you can then remove pins, and work in whatever direction you wish, block by block.

If not and doing an allover design I use a Microstitch gun with the tiny tacks before doing fmq.
