when i am working on something small i am going to quilt on my domestic-instead of the long arm i thread baste- i also thread baste if hand quilting- i do not like the sprays- have not had alot of luck with them and find dealing with the pins is much more time consuming and well--- a pain, so i thread up a big needle & baste my quilt the way my grandmother taught me oh so long ago- it has always worked well for me & is very easy/quick to remove---with no sticky oversprays or hard pins to deal with
