Where do you spray baste?
I love the ease of spray basting smaller quilts. After crawling on the concrete basement floor for 30 minutes, taping down the backing, I realize there MUST be a better way! Would a ping pong table work? I see used ping pong tables on craigslist priced very reasonably....

I spray baste outside. Breathing in glue doesn't seem very healthy to me. Ping pong tables seem a bit big if you are doing small quilts. You can get those large plastic resin tables at the big box hardware stores for about $20 (less if there is a sale).

Timely question--I'm planning to try this for the first time tomorrow. I don't have a good surface--would a large sheet work for a dropcloth? (My autocorrect tried to change dropcloth to frolicking--that makes no sense!)

I just tried spray basting for the first time about a month ago. I did it outside and used my patio table. I had my other half help me to make sure I got it laid out flat without wrinkles. Worked well!!!

I use my patio table and work in sections. I allso only pray between the backing and batting. I never use it between the top and batting. Seems to work well.Hot and dry here in Australia. Summer is here.
