I just sprayed my queen size quilt....first time I have ever tried it...LOVED it...It is now ready for me to start quilting in the morning...if you have never tried spray basting I recommend it...I did do it on my kitchen floor and opened the sliding door for fresh air.

Thanks!

OK, I'm new at this so, what did you spray your quilt with and and why did you spray it?

amma

It is a sticky washable spray that holds the quilt sandwich together, eliminating the need to pin or sew baste the quilt sandowich :D:D:D

Can this spray be used in the hand aplique process to hold the fabric in place when you turn the edges under?

I think this would be too messy and inaccurate. There are a lot of glue sticks available for this purpose, but it sounds like Elmer's might work, too.

I am always amazed at how/why people choose to use a petroleum based product on a living fiber!

Well, it might have been a living fiber. Now it's dead. Deader'n a doornail. :mrgreen:

As for why... well, spray basting is easier - unbelieveably easier! If I had a good place to spray baste mine, (with good ventilation) I would hardly ever use any other method. :thumbup:

I personally don't like the spray baste because it "gums" up my Bernina. Check out your needle when you use it.

cotton remains a living fiber,,,,forever! unless it gets filled with caustic gums like the resins in bonded batting and basting spray!

If you are ever making an heirloom quality quilt, do NOT consider spray basting...instead, pay a long armer to baste the quilt for you...
