This is how I do it .. I was not aware of other methods.

I also do it that way, except that I pin mine on the design board and work standing up.

The 505 holds it all together so there's no need for handbasting the sandwich.
And keeps it together as you quilt.

That is the way I do as well works great!

I layer it that way, back to batting then top to batting. I don't spray all over though, I really spray baste. I spray small circles about every six inches or so.

thats how I have always done it

I always do mine that way --- except I don't spray it I pin it every 3-4" and just move it and start over until it is all pinned. I have a glass topped dining table about 48 x 60". I have a bird and try not to use anything that may harm her.

I also frequently do it this way, but not with spray. I use double sided adhesive batting, put the back on and then start in on the front. By the time a simple front has been done (think center medalion and frames around it, or panals of different fabrics in colors or themes) the quilt has been totally quilted! Obviously, I put each part of the front on one at a time, instead of putting them together and then putting them on; if I want to do a simple one of 10 or 12" squares I would do a row and then put it on. Don't do this always, but for lap quilts, "bus" quilts (for students who travel long distances to perform), for special theme quilts for children.... this works well and the quilt can be done in a day.

Once I was asked to put a tutorial up with this method, but I have a Mac and can't manage to get a picture up onto the "new" QB. My loss!

Sorry for the mispelling of "sandwich".

I thought it was rather clever.......sometimes I feel just like a witch when doing my sandwiching !!!!!!

This is the way I do it and this works well for me.
