I'm quilting a twin-size quilt with a flannel sheet (thanks, Ikea!) instead of batting.

If you usually spray baste and you're quilting with a backing of light quilting cotton, moderately heavy flannel sheet in the middle and quilted top, do you pin baste instead?

I tried to spray baste the top half of the backing to the flannel sheet and Ai Yi Yi, so many wrinkles. Just super tough to try to handle and get the backing and middle smooth.

I admit that I have a small floor space (and no design wall to hang layers and spray baste).

So into the washer they went (again) and I'll be ironing for hours. Again.

If you pin baste, do you notice lots of folded wrinkles in the final quilt?

All/any advice appreciated.
