How do you prefer to baste?

I pin baste because that's the way my friend who started me quilting taught me. I'd like to try the basting spray, but it's very windy where I live and I'm afraid I'd get all over everything but my quilt! (O:

I personally prefer thread basting. Other than I just plain don't like pin basting, I couldn't telly you "why". I really do like the spray basting though that I have just tried a couple times, unfortunately I won't be able to use the spray during the winter here, too cold and can't have the window open.

Thread basting preferred, but I've also done pin and spray basting.
Of course, I'd *really* prefer it if they just put themselves together! :mrgreen:

I pin baste larger quilts and use glue sticks for small pieces. The spray is great but I haven't managed to find a way to stop the overspray covering the areas around the quilt. Since I do this in my livingroom the stickiness hasn't gone over well with my family so I went back to pinning

Thread basting. I hate poking pins and I don't think the fumes of spray
basting is good for ones health. But that's just me. :-D
By the way, someone on another thread mentioned glue baste. I don't
know if she meant spray baste of Elmer's glue. If anyone uses Elmer's
washable glue I would like to know how.
