I used to pin baste my quilt sandwiches & having a really painful back, it was not fun! I'm always looking for ways to make things easier. Now that I've found June Taylor spray baste which I can use in the same room as my bird without any problems, & I've learned to use a long cardboard tube from a roll of poly batting to roll the layers slowly as I spray the fabrics/batting, it's now a quick & simple project & I don't dread it any more. I sandwich it, let it dry over night and quilt without a problem. No dodging pins, it stays together even when I squabble it up to push it through the machine as I'm quilting & now I love everything about quilting!! :-)
