Spray basting is a great way to to go - I'm working on a large queen quilt now on my domestic machine. Everything stays put so well, even though I did what I could to start from the middle and work to the edge, it was so bulky I sort of switched to working from the edges in, NO PROBLEM! - no puckers everything stayed put!

I usually spray baste

nope, I refuse to put any chemicals into any of my work!

Somehow I scratched my hand while quilting and got blood on the quilt. I used my own blood and rubbed over it and took cold damp cloth to remove it and the spot came out leaving no stain. An instructor told us about it in class and I was skeptical until I had to try it. It worked. Patsy Thompson in her tutorials sprays her quilts using a wall board. I am trying in on my QAUG I'm working on now. I'm assessing whether I like it or not.

I use 505 spray, but you have to spray lightly.

If you get a drop of blood on the quilt from a pin, just put a touch of saliva on it and it wil disapear.

I always spray baste and use several pins for large items. The pins help keep things from shifting as I'm wrestling the quilt for FMQ.

Spray basting is the only way to go!!!

I always spray baste and love it. I use Dritz frome JoAnnes. I buy a lot when it's on sale
