I baste with curved safety pins. I use 2 long tables, lay out the backing wrong side up; clamp with binder clips to the table. The backing and batting are at least 4" bigger than the quilt top. Next I lay the batting on the backing and smooth it out, then lay the quilt top on the batting. I center the backing,batting and quilt top so that it all comes out right. Then I pin about every 3-4" all over the quilt sandwich.
I don't use basting spray its not good for someone with asthma, probably not good for anyone. I've been machine quilting for over 20 years, I've learned what works for me.
