I love using spray baste (have always used 505 but just tried Gunold KK100 and it's fabulous!). If my quilt is larger than a table topper I use spray baste AND pins just to make sure nothing moves. If you use spray baste, how large a project will you trust to spray baste alone? At what size do you add pins? Have you ever used just spray on a twin-sized quilt for example?

I have spray basted alone at least 5 queen size quilts with no issues!

I have been eager to try the spray basting method...I find the pin basting to be tiresome and i don't like working around the pins when quilting, taking the pins out while quilting is also a problem because it seems everytime I get my momentum going I have to stop to take out the pins, I will buy some spray and work on a practise piece.

I have made anywhere between a lap size to a queen size quilt and only use basting spray. Here lately, I have been adding safety pins to the border, but not sure if it's even necessary. It just makes me feel a bit better. I love basting spray, and I will never go back to pinning.

Same here

I've spray basted a couple of queen's, 2 fulls, 2 hangings and just sprayed a king! All are done except the King! Switched to 505 and like it lots better than the June Tailor.

Thank you!!!!
I am going to help her out for a week. They get out of the hospital on Tuesday so trying to decide if I should go down tomorrow noonish or wait until Tuesday around 9ish (I have to drive thru the middle of Los Angeles to get to her place, there are certain times you just don't even try)
