I'm using basting spray, but will probably add some pins here and there also.
This is the first, last and ONLY time I'm making a king sized quilt!
It matters. Tape the back down, tautly but not stretched. If you are using basting spray, make sure you have plenty of ventilation and newspaper, old sheets or something around the edges to collect any stray spray. Pin around the edges. Good luck!
