I use it often. I would prefer that to the sticky stablizer. I do sometimes use the spray in addition to the basting. Basting get rid of the straight pins that sometimes get in the way.

Thanks! Sometimes I find myself repositioning pins so I won't have a diaster ;D *2U

I don't like to have to rip them out. If I knew how to make them longer in length, maybe I would like them better. Kay

Baste with all purpose thread in the top and embroidery bobbin thread in the bobbin. When you are done you just need to pull the bobbin thread, it slides right out.
Thanking for sharing SB and thanks DL for the tip ;D *2U

Works for me. I love it. I just started using it a few days ago and said wow better then sticky because sometime you have trouble pulling off the back.

It works just fine! If you don't want any shift you can use iron on stabilizer too. Suzanne
