This lady has some great tips on spray basting. (She also does it on the wall.) This info is at the end of the first video & all of the second video. She realized that she needed to give more info so made the 2nd video about just that. (The other 2 videos are good info about FMQ)

hold it with clamps
I have been having a horrible time getting my quilt to STAY on my cutting table! As soon as there is any portion dangling over the edge the weight pulls the whole quilt and it slides off the table. I have had to place something heavy on the quilt to keep it on the table...a real pain in the tush as frequently as I have needed to move the quilt. Maybe my table is too smooth/shiny? It is like a laminate type material...

I use Sharon Schamber's method of basting on tables using long boards to roll the quilt top and backing on. Here's a tute I did a while back: http://www.quiltingboard.com/tutoria...mq-t91013.html

I layer it on my bed. I take the bedding off down to the fitted sheet then lay the backing and smooth it out good, then add the batting and carefully smooth it then add the top and do the same. WHen I'm sure it is all nice and smooth I slip my really large cutting matt under the middle smooth a little more and start pinning, move the matt as needed and continue. It works out great and have had no problem with folds plus it saves my back and knees.
