Do you only use this method to spray baste, or do you also use it when you pin baste? If so, where do you start pinning?

Sounds like you ladies have come up with a winner. I can't use spray basting, I have a bird and they are sensitive to any smells. I clamp mine to a glass topped dining table and pin with safety pins every 3-4" - move it resmooth it and pin untill I get it all pinned, it is slow and takes several hours to do but, it works well for me. Too stiff of joints to do any other way.

I haven't pinned a quilt since discovering 505 spray baste. I even spray my table runners now!

Wow that is a great idea, I am going to try that on my next quilt along with the spray basting the pinning is just not working out that well for me!

I have had a complete knee replacement, so kneeling isn't my best option any more. I put large plastic on my dining room table and use that. It works for me!

I tape to the wall, and pin starting in the middle, working my way out as I make sure it is smooth.
