I have gone to spray basting I lay the backing and batting out on my queen size bed then fold back 1/2 and spray baste the back to the batting (can not do floors any more!) once backing is attached to the batting I place the top on and spray baste it 1/2 at a time or for larger quilts 1/4 at a time once all is spray basted make sure to smooth all firmly together works great - 505 spray gets the best usage about 3 large quilts June tailor works ok but 1 large quilt and a baby quilt from it.
