That quilt is beautiful.

Now what kinds of marks do you put on there?

Thank you for this tutorial. I have 2 questions please. How do you prevent getting the spray on nearby objects, floor or table top? Is there a basting spray that won't gum up my sewing machine needles?

The Odif 505 spray I use has never gummed up my needles. As far as the spray getting on things nearby, it will end up around your project if you spray straight to the edge of your project. I baste in an unfinished basement, but you can put down a sheet first to protect your floors

Can I just caution, especially new quilters, to not have your quilt top so close to the edge of the backing and batting when basting it down. In this video, she had plenty of room to have that top 2-3 inches away from the edges, but for some reason chose to put it closer. Just give yourself that extra room to allow for shifting when quilting.

I would be concerned about using basting spray in a house (other non-ventilated areas). I cannot believe any aerosol spray is safe in non-ventilated area.
