I don't use spray basting when I hand quilt. I put the quilt on my long arm and set the stitch length to the longest I have. Then I just stitch straight rows across it about 6 inches apart. The quilt sandwich is perfectly basted and I am not crawling around on the floor. I can also use odds and ends of thread and bobbins so I don't have those almost empty spools and boobins waiting to be used.
