spray basting failure!
#11
My daughter ironed the fabric for me and it is possible she used spray starch. Or it could be permapress. Will washing take care of the problem if it is permapress? Also, the front is nicely stuck, so I will not be washing it until after quilting, will it be OK to wash the back and not the front, or will I end up w/another issue?
Maybe I will use school glue
I will report back on what I do. Thanks for the input.

It's fine to wash the back and not the front, as long as you are planning to quilt moderately.
You could wash a small piece of the backing fabric, then test. That way you won't waste a lot of time and spray if this is not going to work.

The fabric I purchased was from a store in town that gets leftovers or something, and the prices are very resonable, I am guessing mine is either a perma-press, or has sizing on it, or maybe spray starch!

This sounds silly, but I had the same problem....I finally looked at the can, and although it looked EXACTLY like the basting spray, it was a different spray(can't remember which one now). They were on the same shelf at the store and all the colors on the Dritz cans are the same. I felt really silly but sounds like the same thing.
