I love the spray basting - I originally used one that comes in a pink & white spray - sorry I don't know the name & I ran out. It worked great but it stunk to high heaven. I now use Sulky spray baste - it works well but doesn't last as long as the other stuff. It also doesn't smell! I supplement with a few pins. I've also basted using quilters safety pins - removing them is a pain in the neck when I'm quilting. I've broken a couple of needles on the pins.
