Spray basting
I have several tops to quilt which I like to do. However, I hate the pin basting part. I have seen 2 videos with instructors spray basting even large quilts and not pinning. Has anyone tried this successfully?

i spray baste mine. i use a folding table from JoAnn's to lay them out on. then i lift the top section and spray and lay it back down, smooth and move to other side. lift up, spray and lay down and smooth. then to the sides and do the same. then turn over and smooth the backing again and start there doing the same, lift, spray, smooth, move on.
that takes long enough to make my back hurt but it still better than ironing fusible batting (which i also use) or pin basting or thread basting.

Question on spray basting: When I do a quilt, I cannot finish quilting all in one sitting. When I fold quilt to put away, when I get it back out, it looks like the fabric has shifted and is wrinkled around the fold. Have to reposition. Does that happen to you, or is it just me and what am I doing wrong? I end up spray basting and pinning which sort of defeats the purpose, not to mention cost.

This is the only way to go but be careful of brands. The June Taylor one sometimes leaves your needle gummy. I discovered that if you read the directions it helps. When it says to shake for 2 minutes, don't cheat. It helps
to always follow directions I guess.
