    Hi,
    I am not sure what you mean by brands, size, name?
    If not using a basting spray--all you need is bent safety pins or a long sewing thread to do by hand..right?

    I PREFER Dritz repositional basting spray--so easy & holds --no gummy needle either

    Don't know what you mean. I just use a long basting needle and inexpensive thread. Mostly I like to use spray basting.

    I have used safety pins but I no longer use those because I spray baste (505) or put it on my frame with straight pins.

    505 spray adhesive or safety pins. When I did hand quilting I basted with needle and thread.

    Have you tried 505 spray also? Just wondering how Dritz compares to 505. I can't find 505 locally, have to order it, but I believe I saw Dritz at Walmart.

    I gotta' get with this spray-basting thing. I've been using long pins with yellow balls on top. Works fine, but I keep sticking myself!

    I use the bent safety pins for quilting along with a tool called quick klip, works great for closing those pins without your fingers getting sore!

    I use masking tape (to tape down the layers flat and tight), safety pins (bent ones work best) and the Kiwk Klip to help fasten the pins. I am not so sure about the idea of using the spray... yet. I dont like the idea of cleaning up a sticky mess but recently bought a can of 505 spray, so am going to give it a try at some time. Below is a link for the kwik klip thingy.

    I use straight quilting pins (the ones with the yellow head) and pinmoores (or rather disposable earplugs for the moment).

    Sometimes I use the curved safety pins and I have used the 505.
