I am over whelmed by your responses & tks so much for your help. I am going to our fabric store today to get some 505 basting spray & I think if I use some of these other suggestions that it will work. My stitch regulator is one that works similar to a walking foot but I will use my walking foot today & starch both top & bottom & increase my stitch length even higher as long as no one reports me to the quilting police LOL. Again, many tks & I will report back as to how I make out with this quilt. Tks to everyone.
