Thanks for posting.
I'd seen the earlier one but I'm glad to see this one too.
I'm going to start spray basting all my quilts this way after I finish quilting this one in progress.
My knees just can't take crawling around on the floor anymore.
I'm not sure what I'll do with my 100's of large safty pins though... :?:
I've already begun buying cans of 505 spray and now have 3 of the 8oz ones. I think they have a larger can too but I can't find it locally.
