It depends:
1.) which spray I use. It seems some sprays hold more than others. But if I am using the Sullivan's spray - I do not pin.
2.) when am I going to start sewing. If I spray and sew on the same day, then I do not pin. If I am spraying but not able to sew it for a few days or more - then I pin. And I do not pin close maybe, 10 inches apart.
There is a spray out there that will release its properties in a few hours. I use that for my machine embroidery but accidentally used it for quilting once, and was very disappointed that I wasted the spray and that I had done the work and it was all for not.

I pin it also. I'm a hand quilter with a hoop and it takes me a while to get it finished, sometimes years so I like to have the pins in for insurance. Usually, they're not needed. I'm learning to machine quilt and I use few or none for those small projects.

No, I do not pin. I do sometimes give just a little more spray on the corners after testing to see how "sticky" they are. I never have a problem as long as I watch my sides to make sure they don't get folded under. I FMQ all over the quilts and very rarely have a tucking issue

I do too. I love 505. I just wish it was a little less expensive, but it still hasn't stopped me from using.

I only spray when I am birthing a placemat or table runner to keep the batting in place. I prefer using pins because if there is a problem, it is the easiest method to be able to repair the problem. I live in an apt so no yard or open area to use in order to spray. Just know the only important thing is WHAT WORKS BEST FOR YOU!! Good Luck.
