I still pin baste with safety pins. If there are any problems with the backing having wrinkles, no problem to fix it easily.

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.

But if your space is limited, you probably don't have space for a big enough table for the board method.
There's a detailed explanation of the table and clamp method in Harriet Hargrave's book 'Heirloom Machine Quilting'. You don't need as large a table for that. |
Thankyou for the replies. Good to have some possibilities to follow up!

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 almost scrolled past this. I learned something here. Thanks for posting

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):
