Went from hand basting with thread, to pin basting, to spray basting. Works wonderful! All the ladies that are in my little quilt bee spray baste. Put batting down over to work tables, lay top over it and smoth till no wrinkles with empty fabric bolt card board, carefully fold one half of the top back over itself, spray, wait one minute, fold back and work from center out ward to "paste" it down, use the card board bolt thingy and or your arms, repeat for other half and just carefully fold back to where it is already stuck, do the same on the back.
