I have been looking through different basting sprays put out on market. So many brands and was wondering from all of the quilters here which ones are the best.
There are some that are sold at walmart and was wondering if that would be comparable to the 505 basting spray sold at Joann's?
I would be greatly interested in all of your opinions on this subject.

the quilters i know who use basting spray swear by 505 spray-
some of the others do not hold as well- some you still need to pin baste-
personally i do not use spray basting so really can only tell you what i know other's use most--and like

Sometimes we have to pay more and get the best, and when it comes to basting spray 505 is the best. My only issue with all sprays is the overspray. When you find a system that works best for you, it is the best way to go. I cover everthing around my table with old sheets and cheap drop cloths from the dollar store, hanging over chairs. I hold the side of the overhang up when I spray closer to the edge, to prevent the spray from getting on the floor. It only takes 5 minutes of set up and saves me hours of removing the sticky from my floors using Mr. Clean magic sponges.

I love 505, and have several large cans on hand. I used June Taylor once and had to open the windows, the smell was so strong; never had to do that with 505. I had pin basted before and now am a complete convert to 505. I have one quilt that has been basted for 4 months with 505 and it's just like new

I've used June Taylor and whatever else is available through my local JoAnn's or Hancocks. I've never seen 505 at either of them, and would be very interested in finding out where y'all buy the 505. I'd really like to try it after seeing the raves about it.
