I spray baste and pin.

I have also used the Dritz temporary spray adhesive, a little cheaper and you can get at Joanns. Find it either in the quilting supplies or in the notions. I also buy direct from the Madeira Thread company (any one can) and have been very pleased with their temporary spray adhesive, and the price is GREAT. I buy the one called MSA 1000, a large 17 oz can.

Patsy Thompson's You Tube videos are fantastic....

I spray baste every time and no pins...the edges do sometimes end up a little unbasted BUT putting pins in there doesn't appeal to me since I know I'll draw blood while moving the quilt around! (I have put a few in the edges right at the end as I am quilting there...)

I agree the June Tailer spray is terrible, I ended up throwing away a full can and a half because it was so bad....I have sometimes been able to buy 505 at Joanns but not all the time
I have also purchased it on ebay. I just did a goggle search and walmart says they will do a site to store for the spray. thats a pretty good deal. |
Kmarts supposedly carries it, but on line.
Connecting threads has it too |
I only spray baste
