Fusible Batting vs spray adhesive
Since I don't have a longarm and truly hate to pin, I have been using fusible batting but it leaves a residue on my needle. Would the spray adhesive be a viable alternative?

To me, both leave adhesive on the needle. I still prefer to pin baste on a table because if there is a problem with a tuck, I can easily fix that. I have never gotten down on the floor as some have posted.

I use nothing but spray basting and have never had a problem with residue on my needle. I usually let it dry over night also. I also never get on the floor to baste, tried that once or twice using pins and will never do that again. Too hard working on the floor and getting up again Not to easy getting down on the floor either anymore. I hang my layers on wall board insulation and it works beautifully!

I use 505 spray, and I've never had a problem with residue. We use spray basting for our charity quilts at my guild, and so there are lots of people spraying and the immediately quilting, with no problems.
