Yes! Yes! Yes! I use the MicroStitch by Avery, too, and it works great! I tried spray basting with all different kinds of temporary spray, and it just didn't hold it together when I was rolling up the sides and folding the top down. These tacks are the tiniest tacks made, and using them as described really does hold it all together. And she is right about the trick. Made sure you use contracting tacks so they show up good.

Trick is to try and use the most contrasting tacks so you can find them again, and to put them in with regular spacing.
