    IF i can find it I use a batting called Warm Bond. It is made by Warm and Natural and it is WONDERFUL! The quilt layers stay together. I lay out my backing wrong side up and pin it to my carpet. (Taunt but not too taunt!) I spread the Warm Bond batting over the backing smoothing with my hands. Place the quilt top over the batting and again smoothing with my hands. Works like a charm!!! I quilt it on my regular sewing machine and I wrestle it around quite a bit. No spray, no pins!! The only problem is finding the batting. I occasionally find it at Joann's and I buy all they have. Both times I found it at an ETC store. Maybe if we all ask for it, they will make it more available.

    This sounds great. Can you reposition it if you get a wrinkle?

    Here is the link for more info.. it looks interesting . It has more poly than regular warm and natural . It only gives a reference to top and backing clinging to the batting .... not a "real" bond. I would love to give it a try .. I'll have to look for it.

    I'm very interested! I looked at their website and re-read your email but I'm not clear on what makes it stick. Do you use an iron or just your warm hand?

    Does anyone else have ideas of where to purchase it?
