    I machine quilt on one of my 9" throat machines. If straight line stitching I use walking foot. For FMQ I use a darning foot. I pin baste my quilt sandwich. I use the walking foot to sew binding to front of quilt. I hand sew binding to back of quilt. You may want to practice on a quilt sandwich.

    I have used pins and spray basting. I like spray basting better. Just DON'T use a lot. Just a light spray will do.

    if your spray basting is loosening, just run a warm iron over it unless you have markings on the quilt. You don't want to set those into the fabric. Have fun, practice on a sample block and enjoy the heck out of it

    Thank you all for sharing your time and expertise. I will be utilizing quite a few of these suggestions from now on.
    Life may not be the party you expected it to be, but while you're here you might as well dance!
