Does everybody who uses basting spray use it outdoors? On the cans that's what they say to do, due to harmful vapors in the spray. I think it's related to dry-cleaning fluid. I love the way it holds the layers together, but when I take the quilt outdoors and lay it on a sheet and spray it, the slightest breeze tends to make the layers and sheet go every which way. I'm going to try Pinmoors.

I pin and spray baste both, I think they hold together better. I also use clamps when doing so.

I just started using the pinmoors and I like them. I haven't tried spray basting because I have a breathing condition and try to avoid as many sprays as possible.

I pin, I tried spray basting on a baby quilt and it was okay but I ended up adding pins, not as many as usual though. I'm not sure if I'll like it on a queen size quilt.

Curved safety pins for me, can't stand spray basting. Hate the smell and the sticky mess.

I never have a problem with overspray. When I get near the edges, I work from the outside and angle the spray inwards. I spray in a grid pattern, about 6" apart. I don't try to cover every square inch of the batting.

I've found it to be the best as far as avoiding issues on the back of the quilt.
Thanks for this. The first time I sprayed, I got so much on the quilt that it was kind of puckered up. I finally got it smoothed, it was touch and go there for a while.

Spray basting - 505 spray - can't beat it. I had one of those guns. Never could get it to work right. I still got all sorts of wrinkles and things on the backs. Plus - cutting those things was dangerous. I nicked my quilts a few times.
