Pin basting and/or spray basting
#31
I spray baste with 505 and machine quilt, never a problem, even with large queen/king size quilts. I do sometimes pin the corners of a large quilt. Never have any shifting or tucks and so far I've quilted everything on my Janome 6600.

Thank you all for the responses! I have a lot of trouble with achiness in my neck; shoulders, back, hands and such, so I think I'm going to try the spray basting for now. I was just concerned that if I spray basted only, I may still need to pin. I am going to TRY to machine quilt my first one here soon. As always, VERY APPRECIATIVE to this board!! Thanks again and wish me luck!

I spray baste with the cheapest I can find. Sometimes, on very large quilts, I machine baste along the sashing lines in order to stabilise. The advantages are that I don't get stuck, it is quick, there is no bunching, I don't sew over pins accidentally and there is no stopping of the rhythm of my quilting.

I pin baste larger than baby quilt sized. I actually don't care for the spray baste. It seems to "gunk up" my needle. I have the can of spray and will use it up but not likely buy more. It would be that this is an older product and the newer ones many be better.
