    505 and Sullivan's for me too. As for the glue stick, you can purchase them which say "Fabric Glue". I use any though and have never had a problem. I do make sure the glue is dry before I machine stitch.

    I love 505 but hated the kneeling... I like the idea of using a table but II tried this method recently:

    Most of your comments lead me to think that you are using basting spray for machine quilting, not hand quilting, is that right? Does anyone use it for hand quilting?

    I haven't ever done any hand quilting, but it would probably work. The can I have says it's repositionable for 2 months.

    I'm was trying to find which adhesives to use. I have a can of the Sulky kk 2000 but wasn't sure about it. Have had it for a few years.

    I use Sulky KK2000, supposed to be environmentally safe and doesn't smell bad. It also works well. Just got 2 cans on sale at Overstock.com. Have also used 505 and that works well too. When I machine applique I do use a glue stick, but try to stay away from the edge where I will sew. In addition, I have used a think line of Elmers school glue when doing mitered borders, then heat set it works great!

    I use the Sulky product all the time. I went to a Sulky Educational Seminar some years ago and they explained that their product does not have any propellent, therefore their can is quilte small but holds as much product as those with propellent that are large in size. :D

    The June Taylor basting spray ruined my tile floor. I can't get the glue off the grout or tile. I will never use the stuff again. I'd rather bruise my knees hand basting or pinning my quilts.
