I barely have enough space to do that, and I definitely don't have enough space (and air circulation) to spray it out.Ellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02605965151725519259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2035065886211353468.post-60556484967848070422012-03-22T17:13:10.384-06:002012-03-22T17:13:10.384-06:00I hand baste every piece.

At the last quilt show I picked up "Mary's Basting Glue" from Mary Ceasar who is a Hawaiian quilt expert. That glue only neesd a tiny pin-head size touch and washes out with a que-tip in water. Spray is sticky and hard to control in my house. I don't like the stuff they make for paper either.Julie Fukudahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15704374750710761269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2035065886211353468.post-32801233156962877792012-03-22T15:24:45.739-06:002012-03-22T15:24:45.739-06:00I use pins.

Can't really be bothered with ordering the spray online as I don't have a proper local quilt shop nearby...Sometimes the pins annoy me so I take them out long before I need to, and just wing it which often works well. =DCheriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02401901024509719512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2035065886211353468.post-22237406191975202722012-03-22T11:46:51.264-06:002012-03-22T11:46:51.264-06:00Spray........every time.

On smaller pieces I'll generally spray and maybe throw in a pin here and there.Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05557907462873511920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2035065886211353468.post-41238827168892388932012-03-22T07:45:52.036-06:002012-03-22T07:45:52.036-06:00'Cheater' panels make some of the best bab...'Cheater' panels make some of the best baby quilts. They stand up to the washing much better than many pieced tops. Glad the spray basting worked better this time. The one time I did it, I did it on our patio table. I would think it helps to have 'help' when doing it. I sure could've use an extra pair of hands.Cheryl's Teapots2Quiltinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01005480747596617459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2035065886211353468.post-32491807120276254882012-03-22T06:15:53.920-06:002012-03-22T06:15:53.920-06:00When I am quilting on my DSM, I spray baste everyt...When I am quilting on my DSM, I spray baste everything. I just never really got the pinning right and always ended up with puckers on the back no matter how closely I pinned. The spray basting seems to hold everything together so nicely and I don't have to worry about checking the back to make sure it's smooth every few inches. I use a tube from a roll of batting to roll my quilt top/bottom on nice and flat and then roll off a section at a time when spray basting. That just makes it so much faster.Sue Dauriohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13733757459352965059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2035065886211353468.post-16034733922936828302012-03-22T04:57:24.553-06:002012-03-22T04:57:24.553-06:00Richard I always spray & pin baste - both.

That baby never moves or shifts when I'm quilting! I wouldn't do it any other way, especially for the big quilts!Teresa in Music Cityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15650995129191593324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2035065886211353468.post-971205795820260572012-03-21T23:37:26.033-06:002012-03-21T23:37:26.033-06:00It depends on the piece, but I hand baste, pin bas...It depends on the piece, but I hand baste, pin baste, and spray baste. When spraying, read the product directions is all I can say. I use it very litely, let tacky dry and then the layering. And always wash that quilt afterwards. I always hand baste large quilts (queen/king). Most often pin baste - especially baby quilts, runners, wallhangings, small items. Anything free motion quilted is pin basted.Vroomans' Quiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07258050499246235109noreply@blogger.com
