Spray Basting
#61
Hey Everyone!!!! I just finished the quilt and used the spray basting.....it was WONDERFUL!!! I had no problem what so ever. The only thing I would do different is to spray only half of the fabric then smooth that out & then do the other half. I had no puckers and I used no pins!!!!! I am a beliver and will probably never use pins again. Also there was no oder, I used the June Tailor brand from JoAnns.

Three Questions .... (1) Do you spray on the fabric or the batting? (2) Where do you spray (on the floor, outside, design wall, table)? (3) How do you handle the issues with the overspray (it leaves a sticky residue everywhere)?

What website do you get the 505 spray and fix on? The one I found is 12.95 per can or a larger can for more. I'm pretty cheap but I want to use what works best so if there is something online cheaper, a web site for that would be great.
I have been using the fusible batting and it is hit or miss as to whether if adheres, sometimes it is great especially for my smaller projects but sometimes it just doesn't work very well.
I kind of feel like I am cheating by using it and that I am not a true quilter, but it sure makes things easier and I'm all for easy if I can get it right

My trick is to spray baste and then walk on the quilt being sure to cover every square inch for several times around...in sock feet, of course! Then I usually don't get around to doing the quilting for a couple of days or more---not sure if that makes a difference or not! I've never needed pins or to spray baste any more after doing this.

I use the 505 spray and then, just to be sure, I hand baste all around the outside edges of the sandwich, and I leave that hand basting in until the sandwich has been sufficiently quilted so that it is perfectly secure.
