Pins or Spray?
#21
I have started to baste with long straight pins. It's fast and so much easier. I bought a package of these:

then ordered several more packages. They stay on the pins and do not come off until I take them off.

I use both. I spray and then I don't have to pin as much. Last summer, I sprayed a queen size stairway to heaven and used less than 30 pins. It lasted very well. Never gummed up my needle and the quilt was just as soft after I washed it than if I hadn't used the spray at all.
I don't pin at all on smaller projects.

I have been using the spray I get at JoAnn's, because I can buy it with a coupon. I love it! I used it on a queen size quilt, but did pin the edges to keep them in place. Nothing shifted, no wrinkles on the back. It works great! Now I use it on everything; I will NEVER go back to pinning the entire quilt (which I hated doing)!

As the minister said, "Lets us Spray!" I always spray, no matter what the project. Take it outside, and then spray LIGHTLY. I do give the edges a little extra, just for good measure. I have never had a problem of any kind.
