Spray Basting
#21
I use 505 only and FMQ from the upper left (stencil and Pounce) accross the quilt and work my way down. I've only done throw size so far and no problems with shifting or wrinkles on back.
I have a wall set up for spray basting and it really is much better than on the floor.

I would still be careful about how you go about it. It can still pucker if you are not careful. I often put extra 'stay' stitches in it after spraying so that it will not twist out of shape. Then I generally start at the outside and go all around the quilt, working into the middle without any problem and it does not pucker.

I started out with pins and hated them.
Switched to spray and love it.
I've never had a problem with it not lasting and I never quilt quickly; they are done over time. Never a problem with it giving out.
Yes, don't spray heavily. And if you can do it outside so much the better.
I now have a vent in my quilting room but haven't gotten to the point of spraying in there yet.

I had a quilting instructor who quilted FMQ on her Brother machine and she always quarters her quilt and starts in the corner. Her quilts are gorgeous and her backs never have any wrinkles . I myself have never been brave enough to do that. I have enough trouble pining my quilt sandwich and not having wrinkles.
