That works fine for a small quilt and on a table with corners. I've tried to do that on a round (oblong with leaf in) table and on a queen size quilt and it doesn't work quite so well. :-)

When I first started using the basting spray, I tried to use it on poly batting and it absolutely did not work. Everything moved around and skewed, finally had to resort to basting gun. Now I only buy 100% cotton batting and haven't had a problem since.
