    I use the curved quilting pins about hand-width apart making sure that I don't pin in the path of a ditch.

    I like spray basing, but I also do some pinning down on the outside of the borders and cornors.

    I spray baste and pin around the edges. I get fewer puckers that way.

    Same here. I can baste a full size quilt in a few hours using Susan Schambert's method with the two boards. I still have the pins, but I mostly use them for smaller projects.
    Love Susan Schambert's method of basting. I just am not able to crawl around on the floor to pin any more.

    My favorite way is to thread baste using water soluble thread. No basting threads to pick out.

    what us susan schambert's method sounds interesting as basting a quilt is the only thing I don't really like about quilting

    I use the spray on basting glue whenever possible. Otherwise I pin.

    I used pins til I discovered basting spray. I didn't like thread basting.
