Your thread title mentions *permanent* basting spray. Basting spray for quilts is not permanent; it is repositionable and (supposedly, anyway) washes out in the laundry.
I would either spray baste or baste with Elmer's white washable school glue. I would lay a large flat sheet over a large bed and use that for either method. (Toss the sheet in the laundry afterwards. Both will wash out.)
There are quite a few threads on the QB about basting with spray or with Elmer's. Here's a link to an Elmer's glue basting tutorial with photos:
