I love to use spray basting but not when I hand quilt. It's harder to get the needle through.

I love 505. I've tried another brand, and it gunked up my needle really bad. I'll stick (no pun intended) with 505. :)

YES!!! I spray baste all of my quilts!!! My favorite is the 505 spray. It is the coolest stuff!!!
I sandwich my quilts over at the church where DH works. We push together a couple tables (really nice when we have the adjustable ones and we raise them up) I do tape my backing down, get it nice and wrinkle free. We just did 4 of them on Saturday.

I love spray basting! Not sure if I would get much quilting finished if I had to pin.

I spray baste baby quilts that I tie or push & shove quilt. If you use the June Tailor spray from Joann's, you'll need a well ventilated room to use it in--outside would be better. It has a lingering odor that some people may have a bad reaction to (hubby has allergies) and I always prewash baby quilts before sending them to the baby.

I'm a handquilter and I must say I don't like spray basting. The material is harder to needle with it and I prefer thread basting - although it takes longer to finish!
