To use my basting gun, I bought some of the grid stuff at Lowe's and put enough to cover my cutting table. I don't slide the grid around. I also switched to the micro gun.

I've tried using it twice and kicked myself both times after having to remove all of the little plastic tacks and wind up pin basting anyway. Uuuugh!
