One little note about glue basting. When I started to use glue basting, I loved the speed and efficiency, but squeezing that bottle just tore up my hands, so I looked around for a better way to dispense it. I bought a gallon of Elmer's school glue on Amazon for about $12, and put it in a condiment dispenser bottle. It even has a little cap to keep it from drying out. Much easier to glue baste now.

School glue is much less expensive and I don't have to deal with fumes, overspray and mess that you have with aerosol sprays or non-aerosol sprays for that matter.

I don't "paint" the glue on with a brush, or even very carefully at all. I just hold the bottle over the fabric and drizzle it quickly in circles all over the fabric. I have used spray, but the overspray, fumes and cost are why I prefer cheap washable school glue. I've never had a problem washing it out. So I confess to using the glue because I'm cheap and lazy!
