I agree with the Sharon Schamber way. It is so much easier to snip threads while FMQ than using pins. Also, I have run into issues when using the spray baste. I know a lot of folks use it but it has not worked for me real well. If the piece is too small to baste, I use a home made version of pin moors. I made them out of the rubber mat squares for playrooms that I got on sale at Michaels. I just cut them up with scissors & they work well. I passed out samples at one of our guild meetings & members liked them, too.
