I like to pin. It holds the layers tighter for me.

Hi Violet
I am only fairly new to quilting but my teacher uses a spray glue baste and it works well for me. Go to the search option at the top of the page and type in basting a quilt and I'm sure you will see lots of previous posts on this subject Hope this helps |
I always use large safety pins, about 3-4" apart. Taking them out as I come to them. Works for me.

Thanks for info and how to use the quilting board, I am learning new things everyday. violet lou

I use the curved basting pins. I like them alot. Welcome to quilting. You'll love it. I'm also in Ohio.

I've recently begun basting instead of pinning and I really like that better. I'm not as apt to run over a pin. That's no good for needles. Ask me how I know.

In the past I have done the basting and the pinning methods. Since I started using 505 basting spray I don't imagine myself using any other method! It's what works best for me...

I spray and pin, when I run out of pins, I baste. I HATE puckers! Except when DH puckers up for me ;-)
