I spray baste with long cardboard tubes & it would be the same with pool noodles. Do you tape the bottom fabric to your table to start? That often helps. Once that's done, roll the batting on a tube, spray an area lightly with spray baste & line up the top of the backing with the batting, unroll the batting to where you stopped spraying, smoothing as you go. Once the batting is on the backing, roll the flimsy on a tube from bottom up & do the same as with the batting. I have very good luck this way. I use June Tailor Spray Baste & it never lets me down! Good luck!

I use 1 X 3 boards for the top and backing and a cardboard tube for the batting. I think the weight of the boards helps keep the top and bottom smooth.

I really wish that I knew what 'pool noodles' is/are. This conversation is not enlightening me either!

You can buy them in Wal-Mart and put a dowl rod through the center. You then roll the backing, batting and top onto each one. It is a method of basting. It worked for me, but I've only done it once, so I don't have much experience yet.[ATTACH=CONFIG]594812[/ATTACH]

Here's a good quick video showing it.

I use the noodles with spray basting. Works fine for me. I pin basted once and threw all the pins away after that one time. I detested it.
