I also put a safety pin on the center side of each layer. That way I know I am getting the layers put together and lined up good

If I'm using the end of a roll of batting and it's full of wrinkles, I put batting in the dryer and let it spin for a couple minutes. That's usually enough to remove the worst of the wrinkles.

I now use Sullivan's Quilt Basting and have for years without one complaint (from me or others!) The cost is more reasonable was the reason I tried it at first but have never been disappointed. You don't need to spray heavily, either.

I put my batting in the dryer as suggested-Amazing results. First, no wrinkles, and second, it removed a lot of lint! Gonna do this to all future pieces. Thanks for the tip.
I recently purchased 505 spray at a good price from Wawak.com. |

Maybe this link will work for you https://www.wawak.com/Garment-Constr...ive/?sku=GLU28 Janey - Neat people never make the exciting discoveries I do. Not affiliated with off-site link(s) |
I don't have a table large enough and don't like crawling around on the floor, so I tape my work to a wall (using painter's tape). I start by taping the backing to the wall, then add the batting and top, beginning from the top. My method would not work if the backing needed to line up precisely against the front but since I've never figured out how to do that no matter the method, I don't stress about it.

I have used spray baste for years and love it. Yesterday, I went to JoAnn's to pick up a can because I had a 40% coupon. Yikes!! The can that was $15 three years ago is now $20, OK $19.99. I am seriously thinking about glue basting or just learning how to pin baste well.
Never used 505 but the price is more reasonable. Thanks for the link. |

Glue basting

I loved spray basting until I discovered basting with Elmer's Washable School Glue. Now I am addicted to Elmer's it is so much more secure than spay basting. I spray baste the same way you do. The process is pretty much the same way with Elmer's. There are a number of good YouTube videos to teach you the technique if you are interested.
Spray basting is perfect for larger or smaller quilts and perfect for baby quilts as long as the quilt is washed before given as a gift. Looks like you have a handle on the spray basting. |
