Tried spray basting and failed
#1
I've read so many notes here from people who are fans of spray basting. I hate pinning, so thought this would be a wonderful thing to do. I couldn't find any 505 locally, but did find the Sulky. I followed the directions to the letter, but it just didn't stick. I did two sandwiches last night, and neither of them stuck. If I so much as touch the sandwich it comes apart. :hunf: Any idea what could be wrong? Fabric is all cotton. Batting is polyester. Was sprayed well and pressed down well. I had such high hopes for this (I have 9 UFOs to sandwich), and am so disappointed. :cry:

I don't use the poly, the spray doesn't stick well for me.
It will stick to warm & natural and the 505 is the best. You can find it here among other places.

Thanks for the info. I had tried spraying the fabric, but that didn't seem to help. I also used starch on the backing fabric, but not on the top. I just got myself up from crawling around on the floor pinning two of them. Yuck! I ache all over and wonder how I'll get up the darned stairs. Maybe I'll just sleep in the recliner. My knees don't like pinning. :-(

and then I tape my backing down on it and then sandwich and pin away. It works for me and no bending over are crawling around to do it. Hope this might help some of you.
