do any of you use pins (safety pins) after you spray the pieces together? Which do you think is the best way?
I'm reading this thread about a month late so I hope you get my reply! I spray baste but use Sharon Schamber's method of putting a quilt together with 2 planks of wood. One of you guys told us about the method - it's on youtube and I'm very grateful. Where she hand bastes I spray and I'm really pleased with the results. The backing, wadding and top are all smooth - I could never get it like that before despite 'hundreds' of pins! Also, I ran out of basting spray on the last quilt so asked MIL for her hairspray and it worked - I was afraid it would gum up the needle but it was fine. So no more 505 for me.
