Oh my gosh,I wish I could say that. Take a class and learn how to use your LA once you get the feel of it, I think you will no longer be afraid of it and wish you had done it sooner.
As for the topic, I have not spray basted so far and had realitively good luck FMQ but I do baste and pin and do small sections at a time, always straightening both top and bottom.Seems to work for me. Tskes practice and unfortunately lots of ripping but it does get easier. I always suggest making a practice quilt. Take a 10 x 10 size top, bottom,and batting,sandwiched and practice first.
