I've used 505 with great results but it's costly. I am an Elmer's school glue convert as well. The downside to school glue is waiting for the glue to dry. I just use it full strength from the squeeze bottle. Is this what everyone else does?

Amelia 0607 ( I tried once to post this to no avail so I will try one more time) I don't have a comment on basting spray but I do have one about your children. I think it is awesome that your kids think enough of you to come to this board to ask questions about a gift for you at Christmas time. Just what I have seen on here in the past the people on here will be more that glad and happy to help them. I want to wish you and your children and the members of Quilting Board a Merry and Blessed Christmas and a Happy and prosperous New Year!!!

I have used Spray and Bond, 505, and something in a pink can. The stuff in the pink can had horrible odor and, for me, was messy to use. I hated it. Spray and Bond (found at Walmart) is odorless and did a good job. My favorite is 505. It is odorless, repositionable and seems to have less overspray than the other two. It even held thick webbing together for sewing when DH needed his backpack straps modified.He was even impressed with 505! The company that makes 505 now has one called 606, but I haven't tried that one.

I love 505 as well.....and here is a great deal...http://www.sewforless.com
Do a search for 505 basting spray...a large can is 17 ounces and they are selling it for $13.34. The 8.5 oz can is $9.19. Joann's online sells an 11.7 oz for $24.49! I ordered 2 cans from Sew For Less, and it arrived in a few days. This was last week. I love having 2 large cans!! Oh oh, no excuse not to get some UFOs basted now...lol, those Irish Chain Quilts that I've been making from scraps are now on my list!

[QUOTE=amelia0607;6454882]I have set up a small wish list on amazon.com for Christmas. It consists mostly of small supplies and a Sizzix cutter. I have told my kids (they are grown) if they have any questions to ask you guys. After all you are the experts
And I have a question - which brand of basting spray do you prefer? I have tried twice. Once was great! Once I didn't wait long enough for it dry - not a good idea! So I would like to try basting spray to see how that works for me.
And add some different threads to your list, you might have to tell them what weight, color etc. or they can get you a gift cert Atlanta supply co,( I forgot their newer name} bobbins pre wound. etc. don't forget to tell the what brand of thread you like.
