I've only used June Tailor because that's what Walmart has. I like it MUCH better than pinning. Pinning is too much work. That being said, I spray and then pin a few in the middle and along the edges.
I'm pretty sure the fumes will knock out a few brain cells, so get as much ventilation as possible.

I just finished a 120x120. Spray basted with 505 using Patsy Thompson's method of spray basting against a wall. I did it in the garage, but there was no problem with overspray as I used a drop cloth. I have read many negative comments about spray basting. Some sprays have a strong odor and don't even hold well or for long. The 505 was perfect. The trick is getting just the right amount of product on the back and batt. This was closely quilted on my Bernina 440 EQ and came out beautiful. I will never pin baste again!

I spray only. Haven't made anything real big, just throws and lap quilts but, it works great. I was taught to spray the batting only ------ first the bottom and then the top, half of the quilt at a time. Spraying works much better for me.

You could do both. Sulky basting spray is non toxic and does not stick on your surfaces. You do have to quilt within 3 days, so work from middle out spray as you go (pinning too is ok) I've found that spraying on the fabric and not the batting is the best way for the spray to work. Good luck and happy quilting! :lol: :lol:

My first quilt i quilted using my sewing machine i just pinned very well and had no problem. The spray i think costs to much without you can use a coupon for it somewhere i do not have a big fabric store close by me and my LQS does not offer coupons and it costs about 13.00 there
