I usually spray the smaller ones, but pin the big ones. I'm also hooked on Criminal Minds, thanks to my husband.

I do it in my classroom (before or after school) where I have big tables, and I still tape down the batting.Alihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10180632868621847256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5763948971179751076.post-65671516337169819762011-02-14T11:40:19.873-06:002011-02-14T11:40:19.873-06:00Hi Katie,

My problem with the pins is that if I have 2 large quilts (e.g. double/queen), I run out, but I keep forgetting to pick up more pins :) Will have to write it on my shopping list one of these days!Sunshinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14222951825948992105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5763948971179751076.post-54103408972019361052011-02-14T01:07:26.942-06:002011-02-14T01:07:26.942-06:003 quilts in one weekend wow lol!

My trick to spray basting....I HATE PIN BASTING!!!!<br /><br />My trick to spray basting...lay out a piece of batting, smoothing it out completely..then lay on the backing (you can do the top 1st, but i've always done the backing 1st, just my personal preference), smoothing it out completely....once the two layers are as smooth as you can get them, smooth them out some more...turn the backing down so that it's laying on top of the other half of backing, take the basting spray (after you have shaken the can really really really really good) and spray about 6"-12" row..pull the backing over it and smooth out...repeat until you have that half done and then repeat with other half of the backing...once you have all the backing done wait about 10-20 before flipping it over to repeat with the top layer.<br /><br />This is how i always do mine, and since i use the living room floor, i put in a good movie that i haven't watched in awhile.Clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08018176950145260240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5763948971179751076.post-72197383088161128062011-02-13T19:06:49.495-06:002011-02-13T19:06:49.495-06:00Oh I was really hoping spray basting would save me...Oh I was really hoping spray basting would save me lots of time! I hate pinning quilts but this week I have read about four different negative reviews of spray basting. Looks like I will save my money and stick with the pins!Meghanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17714453630515091922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5763948971179751076.post-68020618222925969932011-02-13T18:49:53.952-06:002011-02-13T18:49:53.952-06:00I'm sorry you don't have much success with...I'm sorry you don't have much success with spray basting - I love it!
