Quilting D

I love the stuff but have learned to use it outside. For some reason (maybe I'm a messy sprayer) it gets all over. I use the Sullivan brand in a pink can from Hancocks and it doesn't gunk up the needle. Sorry I'm not really sure how to get it off easily. It seems to stay on my hands even after several scubbings.

Are you saying after using it you have sticky fingers. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: I couldn't resist.

Yup, that's right sticky fingers. :) Seriously though, one time I decided there must be a good use for these sticky fingers. I sprayed my hands and decided to see if it would work to grip the quilt when FMQ instead of using the machine gloves. Not my smartest idea! What a mess. I did have a good laugh at myself though. Often I say, I'm my own best entertainment!!

I've used Sullivan's that I got at Hancock Fabrics, and the 505 spray. I like the 505 the best but it's more expensive than the Sullivan's. However, I learned the hard way that Sullivan's will stain fabric if left on there for too long.

Oh my, I'm glad you said so. I did not know that & I wonder now if the quilts that I've given away without washing them have ended up all stained. :shock: :oops: Does any one know if the 505 stains?

I have been using the 505 for about 6 years exclusively. I have not had any instance of staining that I know of.

When I spray the batting, I start near the edges and aim the spray towards the middle, spraying in a grid pattern. I have very little overspray doing it this way.

No, it's not the 505 that stains, it was the Sullivan's. And I think that was because I left it on for quite some time.

I had the same problem with the Sullivans
when I used it on machine embroidery.
They were items that hadn't been washed for a long time, but
I thought that it was exposure to heat or sunlight.
Glad to know it was the time unwashed.
