I find that when I just pin and don't baste first, the handling of the quilt as it gets repositioned hundreds of times in using my machine to quilt, can separate the back and front just a smidge between pins and I've had little puckers show up. When I spray baste before I pin, I haven't had that happen. The spray keeps the layers stuck together. It's just a prep step I take that works for me.
