I don't like to spray baste...how about anyone else??
#72
I spray baste everything. I love my spray. I have only pinned very small projects and I hated those darn pins while quilting - I would never use pins on anything bigger than table topper size. I do it on my basement floor, and I open the basement windows - there is a great cross wind through my basement, and when there isn't, I have a large fan down there to blow towards the window. I have never had a problem with wrinkles in my backing, nor have I had any puckers. I never have problems with over spray either. I usually use 505, but recently tried June Taylors and have found it to be comparable, though a bit smellier.

I don't love pin basting...but that is what I do...only ever spray basted 1 quilt and gave away the can...I think it was the 505.
I can't imagine basting on a wall...well, in my house there isn't a wall big enough anywhere....older house with broken up rooms, lack of bigger walls. I use tables at friend's houses...who also do not spray baste...one friend is about deathly allergic to the spray...really bad reaction.
Anyone else?

I have COPD and can't use the spray, I use to pin like
Sharon S. My husband got me two 8 ft long boards and painted them. Go to Utube and Watch Sharon Champers on basting. I used pins. I now have a Handi Quilter Frame and don't have to pin.
