:D :D :D It could have been me who recommended spray basting. I first tried O'Sullivan's (?) that I got at Hancock Fabrics. I loved it for the ease. No more pinning for me! BUT it smells to the high heaven and you must use it in a very well ventilated area. Now I am using 505 that I got from Connecting Threads and it works even better and DOES NOT SMELL. Yay!

Try it, you'll like it!

Hi,

I love 505 basting spray and use it all the time....it's the best.

I used to use one I purchased from Joann Fabrics and I'd come up from my sewing room with a headache and feeling dizzy almost. It was horrible. Even the dog got funny from it. Think we were getting "high" down sewing....LOL

505 doesn't do that. I use the Sulky 2000 for my embroidery things, love it, too.

I really think all the sprays should be used outside if possible or in your garage (only if you don't have a water heater in there!). fumes aren't good for any of us.

The spray is the best thing. I use it all the time. The dogs hate it and leave the room. So keep a window open and vent the room after to get rid of the fumes. YUK!!!

I used spray basting for this king-size quilt and it worked beautifully.

Thank you. I kinda like that boy, too. And the quilt was fun to make.

Beautiful quilt, great job, love the greens. I going to try spray basting my next quilt - it seems easy.

I mostly use a floor frame and don't need it then, but sometimes I lap quilt and it is great. The stuff from Walmart is no good and couldn't fine the other I used, (threw can away and didn't know name) I will order some 505 today! Thanks for tip!

Did you do any other basting besides the spray, (pins, etc?). How did it hold up doing a king size quilt?
Machine or hand quilted? Curious minds want to know! :lol:
