    I am a fan. Love 505 and have never had any problems with it. Once I wash my quilt it feels like just fabric, batting and thread-no stiffness, residue or "chunks" of anything :-)

    love it... it saves so much hassle especially on smaller pieces that you want to stay put whilst quilting!

    Hugs

    Breaks down and migrates.....just like starch or Elmer or sizing....water dissolves and the residue is carried away by the water.....or if not washed....will just break down and be absorbed by the atmosphere.......sounds safe to me, although I never questioned it to begin with! I have even used it to hold down the sides of a quilt when working on my longarm! No gummy needle or bobbin area there ......

    No, you won't have chunks, because you won't spray it on that thick!

    I love 505 spray and never had a problem. I too wash and use my quilts and they are always soft never ever stiff.

    Once you start using it, most people never look back. I love it. I probably wouldn't be quilting if I had to pin the thing.

    My wife loves 505. After watching the following video and trying it, 505 is here to stay in my house. I was doing some research on basting and came across this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2UoUzK19Vww&index=2&list=PLxRGbwWIUfEpIAFiyqqVWxx2EOlOdI30j

    I recently quilted a sandwiched (basted with 505) quilt that I sprayed 2 1/2 years ago. It was not tacky to touch, but the sandwich was still intact. I put a few safety pins on the corners and stitched away. I was delighted that it held for so long. I don't think it was re-positionable at that point, but I was happy.

    I discovered this spray a few years ago. There is no overspray, does not gum up the needle and washes out. It is also odorfree. My friend has an allergy to the 505 and this one does not bother her............................

    I am staying with the spray! I do not pin any more. It was always so hard to make sure there as no blood left on my quilts! My hands get too dry, pinning makes them crack. Love spray!
