yes spray basting spray like hair spray, not like spray paint. fine mist. I'm not sure how you laid your quilt out to baste it. i use tables and lay mine out, then take a six foot board and flip the top over it a bit and fold it over and over. then spray it and then unflip the top and lightly hand press as I go along. then do the other side. then flip it all over and do the same to the back. I do have two quilts pin basted but keep ignoring them. i do not want to quilt them. i hate pin basting. i may take the pins out and spray it all. sigh.
