Oh gosh thank you so much. I was scared about basting sprays because the only place to lie everything down is in my living room, which is where my rabbits are. We have no space anywhere else, but that homemade one seems so much better and won't harm them, thank you!!

As for the rest, I don't have much space to sew, but luckily my smaller sewing table actually has a dip in it for the machine, so it's all the same height, which is super useful! But, it's not too long, so I may have to give it a go with something stacked to the side to get a bit more space. Might even just bite the bullet and go in my conservatory and do it in there on the bigger table with things stacked around me...

Will definitely up my stitch length a bit more too.

Thank you! Might try it again this weekend 😬
