I detest crawling on the floor and basting a quilt. My poor old knees scream protests the entire time. I was delighted to find a video by Sharon Schambers on how to baste while seated at a table - and used that method for my last 2 quilts. For some reason I had a little shifting on the 2nd quilt, but I think it was because of a poor quality quilt batt (extra lofty).

Is spray basting only to be used on cotton batts?

Will I still need to hand-baste since I will be hand quilting in a hoop? - My WOP gets moved around a lot!

Has the spray ever reacted with your material? Made colors run or anything like that?

I've heard some people talk about getting gummed up needles - is this a common problem or just because the spray was used too heavily?

I'm planning a trip to the city tonight, and hubby knows we'll have to detour into the quilt shop! :)
