I don't have any large wall space either but did find a closet that was quite large. I took an old plastic shower curtain, taped it to the closet doors then layered and sprayed the pieces. Haven't quilted it yet but it sure beat getting down on the floor or bending over a table.

That is so funny! I was thinking the same thing. I have read a few pretty heated discussions on here. It is to be expected some because we all have our own opinions. The best board ever though!

Oops! Forgot to say that I like to spray baste also.So much quicker & easier. It is expensive too. Pros & cons on everything you do anymore as far as if something is good for you or not. You definetly need a well ventilated area if you are going to use it.

I'm a spray baster, too - I usually feel guilty about it, but quick & easy trumps messy & wasteful!

Love this idea of using an old shower curtain instead of newspapers!!!

I am a newbie, so here is another dumb question. I know you will be gentle...The fine tutorials talk about free motion quilting when basting with spray. Does this also mean you can baste quilts that have been pieced, assuming you have really pressed the seams down well?

I knew it. My question was so dumb that you have all been dumb-struck. I need some help here, funny ladies. To baste or not to baste--pieced quilt tops!

I really don't quite know what you are asking?????

Do you mean can you use basting spray with pieced quilt tops? If that is the question, then yes, keeping in mind the debate above!

Maybe you thought that we only spray basted applique or whole cloth quilts??
I have used spray on pieced quilts. Just make sure it lays down flat on the batting and the batting lays flat on the backing. It worked fine, but I had posted that on a large quilt, I had a long arm quilter baste the quilt with thread on her machine and it really worked well.
