But I don't know why the batting would not stick to backing. I went ahead and pinned the layers together. I like the whole spray basting idea but i am not sure this is something i can afford to do. Do any of you have any suggestions for me as to a brand that is inexpensive but still works great.

I have 40 or so quilts to sandwich and quilt by June 24th to sell at a charity event to help Tymeless hearts raise money for CHD (child heart disease)

1 more question how many baby to full size quilts can you baste with 1 can?

Thank you!
To answer your last question first, not enough. I too find it just too expensive. And now that I have my long arm, I don't need spray baste. How's that for a money saving solution :?: :roll:
It is difficult if you don't have a large table to lay it out on. I have been known to lay an old sheet over my bed and spread my backing on that, spray baste, lay the batting...you get the idea. My bed is high so that worked well for me. Even with a coupon, it is still expensive.
