I use thumbtacks to hold the backing to the wall- if you put them around the outside edge, that part is going to be cut off anyway. The basting spray will hold the batting, but sometimes for a large quilt, I'll use a few thumbtacks just on the edge of that, too. I've never had the top try to fall off- the basting spray will hold it.

I would think that the most important layer to be secured would be the backing. Since I always leave extra backing fabric (that I trim before doing binding) could you use a staple gun to staple the top of the backing to the board? If you didn't put the staples in too far they would be fairly easy to remove once the layer were all spray basted together.

3 layers of the quilt with when you are stand up spray basting all layers together of a king size quilt. Too thick for binder clis when 1/2" board is added and pins aren't going to hold that weight and chip clips (good ones) cost too much for as many as I would need. Wow now that is a real run-on sentence for sure!
