    If you do give the diluted Elmer's glue to baste please let us know your thoughts on it. I haven't tried it ... yet. My concern is that it might gunk up the needle.

    This is really a great tip -- am certainly going to try it on some of my smaller projects. However I do have my doubts about a big quilt, since I do my free motion on a small domestic machine and certainly can't do the whole quilt in one go, so I'm afraid it might not stick for as long as I need.
