Pinned the whole quilt and when I turned it over I saw that the duck tape didn't hold the backing tight enough as there were a lot of puffy places between the pins. Instead of spending the afternoon quilting I'll be unpinning the quilt, going up stairs to get my masking tape and will begin all over again to sandwich the quilt. That will teach me, next time I'll get the right tape. May in Jersey
