I forgot to mention that my needle doesn't seen to get gooey. Guess if it does we could wipe with a scant drop of alchol to clean it. Unthreaded, no doubt. Right on - shaking better than basting and the few pins aren't a problem. I do attempt to section the quilt into 4 quarters by machine stitch in the ditch from side to side thru the center and them top to bottom thru the center. Keeps the quilt from shifting altho the spray seems to do a good job for me. The 1st time I used it, I didn't remember the directions read the night before and just gave it a little shake. No dice!! Didn't stick and I thought YES! another sorry product that doesn't work. Just shake, shake. :!: :!:
