I still pin baste too, after using 505 to hold the layers together while I do it. I do struggle with wrinkles, partly, I think, because I have to use a carpeted floor. I put my big cutting board underneath the section I'm pinning to help keep it in place and to avoid pinning the carpet on there too!

I've tried this and it was quite successful for smaller quilts, but I got in a mess with a bigger one! I had trouble finding clips that would go round my table edge and the quilt.

I use the clamp method. I bought a large piece of thin laminate/wood that I place on top of my cutting table so the clamps easily clamp on. When not in use the big board rests up against the wall in my sewing room. Works great as my sewing/cutting table is quite big too so it well supports the thinner "clamping" board. I tried Sharon Schambers' board method and didn't like it at all....just me I guess.

I'm getting ready to quilt some placemats and didn't know whether to pin baste (as I do with bedsize quilts) or sew in some basting stitches. I'm hesitant to try the spray, due to possible stickiness. I'll go with pin basting. Thanks for helping me decide, quilters!

I have to get new piece of wood. DH needed my basting wood. But love her videos also. Just make sure no bows in the wood or knots.
My hero, Sharon Schamber, who took the stress out of basting (it works just as well for larger quilts):
