Want to thank all of you for the advice on spraying a quilt together. Hugs,

I use 505 in the red can, I do mine on the floor and then wash the over spray off the floor, I have done up to a super king size with spray basting. It is wonderful, no pins and I have not had any trouble with needles gumming up.
|
If I hand quilt sometimes it may take a few months to get the quilting finished will the spraying last that long? Does the needle go thru the layers or will it get gummed up.
|
I use the same method as Grambi. I learned on my first quilt to not use too much. This is the only method I would use.
|
I use Grambi method. Works great. Use sparingly or it will gum up the needle.
|
I used some 505 spray on a wall hanging and it left a spots. The fabric did have some synthetic in it. Therefore I have not used it since. But I do remember that one should remove their eye glasses when using and good ventalation..............
|
When I did mine (before I got my long arm) I didnt use basting spray I just used lots and lots of safty pins (I was doing crosshatch so I knew were not to put them (pined on my dining room table covered in cardbord (thick) so as not to scratch my table - I then double check for lumps on the opisite side....

I use 2 tables outside in my garage. I tape edges of backing down. Then I layer and smooth everything out. I fold back one side of batting and top, spray onto backing, lay back in place and smooth. Repeat other side. I then fold back top and spray onto batting, lay back and smooth. Repeat and it's done. Never had a problem and wouldn't do it any other way.......Donna

My needle didn't gum up. I did not even notice any difference. |
Once you spray the basting spray, can your backing or top be repositioned, if it's done within a few minutes? I bought some Dritz, but have not had occasion to use it yet. I'm sorta intimidated by it, afraid I'll have wrinkles or bubbles or ???
