I used to use one and I think it was the Dritz. The thing jammed a lot and I had to replace the needle several times. I think that was $9.00. I didn't have any folds on the back. But, I didn't like the holes it left and now I use the basting spray on larger quilts and safety pins on smaller ones. When I use the spray, I do it outside and tape down each layer to be sure all is ok. I've also used binder clips around the edges to hold down layers when basting on my table using safety pins.
