Thanks, now I feel at home! I am what my kids call "computer challenged", which is a step up from my previous "computer illiterate". I have my quilting sites (and coupon/cooking sites) to thank for the education! I seem to spend more and more time on the computer "surfing" and just looking up stuff-all which takes me away from my quilting!!

I love spray basting! I have never like pinning, I always had a wrinkle in the backing.

I appreciate any suggestions.

Just wondering what the difference is between quilt spray and Elmers brand craft bond spray adhesive? The stick style spray saves me tons of pinning, especially for larger projects like baby comfort quilts or larger queen adult size quilts.
Do you use iron on batting?..that is great too. and no slipping under my sewing needle, it all feeds together when you sew all layers down for the quilt sandwich. from, Debbie |
i love the spray basting , only pin one quilt and hated it after that i have been spray basting ever since
|
I had not heard of the 505. Been using something from Joann's. I love the time and effort it saves me. My hands some days don't work very well. It gets painful putting in pins.

I've been starching blocks for a quilt as you go quilt. Would I be able to use spray baste with spray starch? Has anyone had any problems with any chemical reaction using the two? Or is it just fine to use both together?

I don't believe there is much "chemical" reaction to spray starch or sizing. I do rinse my quilts in cool water following completion. That assures me that any markings, startch or 505 is gone when the quilt is done. never had any problems at all. |
Thanks!!
I've done two rows of the qayg and wasn't as pleased with some of the seams. I'll definately try the spray basting now!!! :) |
