Well I finally broke down and tried the basting spray and I have to say I was just not that impressed. It is that June Tailor brand. I just had a small wall hanging that is not quite crib size. After allowing it to dry and set I found the quilt to be sort of stiff and not pliable. It is not real easy to navigate it through the sewing machine for FMQ. Also, I had to reposition it several times while drying because when I would rub my hands along it's length I noticed some puckers which I thought this spray would not allow to happen. Wondering if I did something wrong or if they are supposed to be stiff. I followed directions exactly and even saw several youtube videos of people spraying their quilts. I have to say I think I will just go back to pin basting even though that is a pain to do. Any suggestions for what I did wrong or what your experiences were?
