The best way for basting, as far as I am concern,,,,is Sharon's Schem(I forgot her full name)...she has a mthod with two boards pressing the fabric...no pins needed and its coming out much better.....She is also famous for her free motion quilting....
Sorry I will try to look for the site and will post it later (I hope to find the place)

:oops: Sharon Schamber has a great way of basting ...She is using two panels of wood....
It seems that the site was removed ....sorry about it...

So many of you use spray adhesive for basting. Dumb question, doesn't this gum up your needles, either hand or maching?

:thumbup:
I found it!!!!!
Check on the "free section" there is awhole square about Basting!!!!!!!! and more...
I am sure you will all love it

I pin

No. I've only machine quilted it, and the needle was fine. Others have posted that they hand quilt it also with no problem.

I hope that I have added this link properly
You may find some great information from her site.
She is an award winner. I like the video about basting and binding.

How do you spray a large quilt, like a king size? What do you lay it on and how do you get the pieces to go together? Thanks

That is my preference too
