I have just spray basted my quilt. Usually I also pin it. Does anyone else do this or am I making more work for myself. My quilts are usually queen size.

I have never spray basted a quilt -

But there are men that wear a belt and suspenders, so it probably would not hurt anything.

If you spray baste you should not need to pin it too. But it doesn't hurt anything so if you are more comfortable doing both, go for it!

I don't use pins unless it's the last resort in any of my quilting. I detest using pins. Nasty painful things.

I used to pin - then found my fingers were cramping something awful to open and close the pins. Then I switched to spray baste - the overspray really bothered me. No I swear by Elmer's washable school glue. Love it!!

I only pin around the edges. Mostly it's because I sometimes have to pack them away before I am finished quilting.

I spray baste and I never pin unless there's a part that's giving me trouble, which is seldom.

Jim's Gem

I spray baste all of my quilts and never pin them. Occasionally I respray a little more on the corners but have had wonderful luck with spray basting. Even large queen (king) size quilts. I then quilt myself on my Bernina.

I do both. I lightly spray with Elmer's glue and pin. I like large thin pins and use a spoon to close and open them so I don't get stuck.

I always spray baste and just strategically pin: a little around the edges and a few across the body of it. I have a tool to close the pins so no getting stuck or achey fingers
