Quilt Basting Spray
#22
I think maybe the spray was to thick, I spray baste all the time and just lightly spray backing and then batting. Doing half the quilt at a time. Fold over and rub into place, repeat on second half. Then repeat with batting and quilt top. Just a quick spray will hold things if the spray is on both surfaces. I also put down a plastic drop cloth around the table I spray baste on. Keeps over spray off the floor. Newspapers work for that too. I've had no problem and have used several brands of spray.

Did you need a new needle or sometimes I am working with the wrong thread and my thread will bounce out of place, skip and get all tangled up.

I am having a little trouble with spray right now too, my border fabric on the backing, is a lighter weight than the center of the backing, and seems to be "ruffling" much more than i would like. Any suggestions?

HI I have used spray baste Sulky KK 2000 and love it.
I think most problems is using way to much spray. It really takes verrrrry little. Never had a thread problemwith it and have use a lot of it.... I spray baste everything I can. The kk2000 never iron with a steam iron.
If you do not want to wait for it to go away on its own press lightly with a DRY iron and it is gone.
Hope you figure it out.... and even though the KK2000 can is small you do not have to do it outside and there is just as much in the can as the big ones with dangerious perpelents.
