Pining always works so went back to that. But I use the bent pins with covers and the quick clip with the large wood handle, much easier on the hands.
I cant get down on the floor so use my cutting table with the special clips to hold the quilt. I use the large black clips when I run out of the small plastic ones. Larger quilts I have to reposition so the clips are a must.
Uh oh, so sorry to hear about your spray basting disaster. :(

I agree, those tools are the best for me, too! :)

Nope, no more on the floor for me, either. It's tables all the way. I can't use the clips with my sewing table, but I do use the painter's tape to secure my backing. Thanks so much for replying. :)

Happy quilting!
