I use the curved quilting pins about hand-width apart making sure that I don't pin in the path of a ditch.

I like spray basing, but I also do some pinning down on the outside of the borders and cornors.

I use 505 basting spray!! The best stuff around!!!
|
I spray baste and pin around the edges. I get fewer puckers that way.

My favorite way is to thread baste using water soluble thread. No basting threads to pick out.

I use the spray on basting glue whenever possible. Otherwise I pin.

Here is a link to a Youtube demo of Sharon Schamber's basting method:

I used pins til I discovered basting spray. I didn't like thread basting.
