    All I do is sandwich my quilts with safety pins. I am afraid if I use spray basting I would ruin my hardwood floors. I also don't know what effect it may have on my Cockatiel.

    I like the June Taylor Basting Spray. I can get it at JoAnn's. Very little odor and sticks well but releases easily for moving.

    There is also a tutorial some where about using Elmers School glue that you dilute and make a spray out of to use for basting. I haven't tried it yet (lost the thread and haven't searched). I think it would be much better environmentally if you wanted to search for the instructions.
    peace

    I have used 505, 101, and june tailor with success, they all seem to be about the same for me. I use all outside because i don't like the smell of any of them, they all irritate me inhalant wise. The only one I have that I haven't tried is sullivans, but I am sure its comparable. 505 is the most expensive in the batch. I got all of them from joanns online. I think mettler just came out with one as well

    Elmer's School Glue, for basting! I've no desire to breathe spray glue, into my lungs.

    I think you are referring to Mettler Web Bonding Spray. It is fabulous. No odor and no overspray and no fine air particles that other basting sprays have that irritate the respiratory tract of some people. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3Wb7D3V...%3D3Wb7D3V4CKs

    I have tried 3 different sprays. I am using 505 never to go back to the others. 505 is the best I feel.

    I've never used elmer glue or 505. June Taylor basting spray from Joann's is what I've used for a few years and I'm very pleased with it.
