Hand Quilting without a hoop

I don't use a hoop because it is too cumbersome! I have basted with the basting gun and plastic tabs. I'm sure that there are better ways to do it but that's how I do it! I'm hearing a lot about the adhesive spray and I just might try that next time!

Supposedly the glue basting is fine for machine quilting but NOT recommended for hand quilting as it will pull apart while we hand baste due to all of the handling of the quilt. I've not tried it so really don't know first hand, just from what I've read.
