I don't have any large wall space either but did find a closet that was quite large. I took an old plastic shower curtain, taped it to the closet doors then layered and sprayed the pieces. Haven't quilted it yet but it sure beat getting down on the floor or bending over a table.

Oops! Forgot to say that I like to spray baste also.So much quicker & easier. It is expensive too. Pros & cons on everything you do anymore as far as if something is good for you or not. You definetly need a well ventilated area if you are going to use it.

Love this idea of using an old shower curtain instead of newspapers!!!

I am a newbie, so here is another dumb question. I know you will be gentle...The fine tutorials talk about free motion quilting when basting with spray. Does this also mean you can baste quilts that have been pieced, assuming you have really pressed the seams down well?

I have used spray on pieced quilts. Just make sure it lays down flat on the batting and the batting lays flat on the backing. It worked fine, but I had posted that on a large quilt, I had a long arm quilter baste the quilt with thread on her machine and it really worked well.
