I go back and forth as to wht to do. I will pin baste like crazy or now am considering spray as a better option. I heard I can buy some clamp things that help keep it rolled up, don't know how well they work and I want to start in the middle. Yup, trying to get it under the foot and not having the backing end up looking like a drawstring purse. . . Oh the visions I've had! Why am I still tempted. Practice is key.
