I spray all the time now, I always let it "dry" overnight. Never had a problem. This spray outside and bring indoors to position as mentioned by Kwiltr is new to me. Will try it on my next project. I use the stuff from JAF if I am out of 505.

THere are many many posts about glue basting on the board. First be sure it is School Glue that washes out. There are different ways to do it. I use to stream the glue on the batting and then smooth out my quilt top or backing. Now I dilute the glue with water and spray on the batting. Much easier and no hard places if some of the glue doesn't get smoothed out. If any gets on my table or floor it wipes right up with water. Glue basting has been around for decades. Many who make show quilts will glue the quilt together before sewing to get perfect blocks, perfect bindings, perfect miters, perfect applique, perfect everything.

Thank you.

Why spray toxic fumes in your home when Elmer's Washable School Glue has been around for years and years. There are several "methods" available, Google has videos for those who are more visual. Yes, it dries, no it does not gum up your needle or machine. I use it for hoopless hand quilting. Would not use anything else.

Just an FYI, I see that Connecting Threads has 505 on sale at 40% off (less than 8 bucks). Good deal if you need to order enough other stuff to qualify for free shipping.

I never pin anymore. I always spray baste. Never a problem with my machine needle gumming up or any other problems. Only way to go especially with a big quilt.

Here is a link to a tutorial on the QB:

If you do a search you will find many other threads that discuss glue basting. (Search is in the upper righthand corner of the screen, at least on my desktop.)

>I am a BIG fan of spray basting! <

Me, too. Though I use both spray and Elmer's Washable glue. The only thing I don't like about the spray is the fall out on table and floor. Have never had problems with my machine using either.

I use Dritz or J Taylor. Bought at Wal Mart. LOve spray basting. BEen doing it for years. NEver had a machine or needle problem. Would never go back to pinning. Just so very easy. Fullproof too. Always works for me. I've probably done over a hundred quilts with spray basting. As long as you tape down the bottom back nice and smooth, the rest is a piece of cake. I can then either long arm or machine quilt. Works either way!

Curious, why baste if you are going to long arm? I thought one of the benefits of a long arm was to avoid basting the sandwich?

I am a new mid arm owner and have my first quilt loaded. I floated the top and have only just started the quilting.
