Hmmm.....A quilting variation of a stapler might work very well. Using 'pins' instead of staples.
Could be a winner.
Any mechanically minded entrepeneur out there?

Many longarm quilters use staples to attach the quilt to the leaders on the machine rather than pinning.

You are the first one to acknowledge that staples are used! The lady who machine quilts my quilts has a long-arm machine... I had never heard of using staples, so had wondered if it was a technique I could use also.

I agree 100%. I have now used the spray on 2 quilts and will never go back to hours on a cold floor hand-basting.

I just wish the spray was cheaper or the can was bigger!!!

Most of the time I use June Taylor's brand and I get it at Joann's with a coupon. It works as good as any, as far as I'm concerned. I have also used it a little more sparingly with good results lately. You can always add more if needed. The relief on the back and knees is worth every penny though.
