Huh. Maybe that's my problem marsee. I'm pretty sure I don't shake it all that long. I should try it again, and this time shake it longer and just go ahead and put a few pins in for good measure. Beats the heck out of several of hours thread basing it.
I've never had it goo up my needle. Maybe because I don't spray all that heavily...which, come to think of it, might be another reason it doesn't stay "stuck" for long on a larger quilt. :P
