I think there is some confusion there. Spray basting is done only once and stays for months. Some people have problems getting the spray basting to stick to polyester batting (some don't). I always use cotton batting, and I've never had a problem with a spray-basted quilt coming apart.

what about the poster boards that teachers use, I bought one at Staples it folds us, it is the kind of board you would use for a display of say pictures. That's what I use when pinning on my dinning room table. when finished it folds up. works great

for big quilts I take them to church anad use their tables, three women and I get together once a month to work on our UFQ If one needs pinning we do it then together. Shortens the time when you have help.

Oh, my... bless your heart !! I invested in a $35 folding table from WalMart. Start at one end of the quilt with backing, batting, pieced top all together. Table is 30" wide x 62" long... I can work on large section at a time. Start pinning and smoothing AWAY from me. Has worked very well... even for king size quilts. I work down the middle for 40 to 50 inches wide... all the way to other end. Then, turn and work the sides, hand pressing to the outer edges. Works great and can be folded up and put away.

Karendenice, A lady on this Board said she puts a piece of wood on her bed and uses it as her cutting board. This idea would also work for you. It would be easier on your back than laying the quilt on the floor. Eiltcoq.

karendenice, The basting spray will last a long time. You don't have to worry about it not wearing off. I use it all the time and I don't get my quilts quilted right away. Eiltcoq.

I am a fan of quilting spray. I have a top I started quilting and then got side tracked by other projects. I went back to it 3 months later and it was still holding just fine.
