That sounds like a great way.
Thanks for the suggestion.

I usually take mine to my sister's house. She has a ping-pong table in the basement that works well and she always helps me, but it is still my least favorite thing to do.

I bought a basting gun and put all the leaves out in the dining table and shoot away. It is like the things that hold tags on clothes but much smaller and now it is not so bad.

The same for me........
But still it's the part I like least

I hate spray basting, but it is better than the alternatives. I accidentally turned the nozzle the wrong way and basted my left arm to my side. To funny

For those of you who baste on a bed - how do you get it to be tight enough? (I use pins - maybe I couldn't do that on a bed.) But it still doesn't seem that a bed is solid enough to smooth and smooth and smooth on. hmmm...

You are right, it isn't solid enough. I can smooth the middle ok but not the edge. So I quilt the middle then reposition the edge on a harder surface. I need a bigger area to do all this spray basting. I think I will call the community center and see if I can use a couple of their tables next time.
