I don't have any experience with spray basting, so I can't say that it wouldn't work just as well, but I would prefer to have all 3 layers firmly attached to one another before doing any intricate stitching.
It is not very large, only 36 inches X 60 inches. How would you baste the three layer before putting it on the frame? I never done it. I understand how I could load my backing, baste the top and batting together and then float it like DogHouseMom suggest. But can you put a sandwich on a frame?
