I have tried that, but I have found that a quilt gun, that shoots out little plastic things keeps my quilts together pretty well. As I said the spray gums up my needles. I have a long arm and I don't have to bother when I use that because all the layers are put on different rollers seperatly and then some together as you quilt. But there are many times when I'd rather hand quilt.
I can't seem to handle the bulk of a quilt under my sewing machine and don't seem to be able to control it to quilt like I want to.
