Exactly what I do... but I then stitch in the ditch around the inner border and anywhere else I can before free motion quilting.

First I tape down the backing, then I tape down the filling, then the top, then I pin, pin, pin and I still get the occasional pucker. I just don't let it bother me.

I find when I spray baste and pin at the same time I have very little if any puckers. When I don't spray baste I have a frelling mess.
