I'm with you, Psquared, on this! I actually like sandwiching now and that wasn't the case in the past. I clear my work table, enlist the help of my dear husband and we spread the back, smooth it, lay the batting and then lift a third at a time and spray baste. Once the bottom is sprayed to the batting, we gently place the top, spray the same way and then I go over the quilt and use pinmoors to secure it so I can twist and pull it through my domestic sewing machine. Piece of cake!
