Quilt basting spray...
#1
Hi everyone -- I've been lurking around for a few months, LOVE the info here! You are all so wonderful to share!
Now then, basting spray...
I was shopping online for 505, and was unpleasantly surprised :roll: at how much it cost. Did a couple of Google searches, and was sent to a garden message board -- one of the gals there swears by AQUA NET hair spray!! (in High School it was the one to use!!) She said that the ingredients were almost identical to the 505 spray.. Has anyone tried Aqua Net? What do you think?
Thanks, in advance!! :-)

There are other brands that are less expensive, an alternative. I just bought a 13 oz. can of Sullivans "The Original" Quilt Basting spray. A much larger spray can than the 505 and several dollars less in cost. You should be able to find it in a Google search. I've never tried the hairspray.

I have had good luck with the Prim/Dritz ( no odor , can be used indoors)at JoAnn's using the coupon it a better deal. I still pin around the edges so it does not lift at all during the quilting and draging that happens when working on it.

Aqua Net is highly flammable, but I think basting spray is too.
My biggest concerns about using it as (1) does it stain fabric? and (2) does it gum up the needle?
Also, as with basting spray, it should be used only in a well-ventilated area and should not be breathed in.......

Never again. Not even with a coupon.
That said, the Dritz spray is available at Joann's and is couponable. ;-) And I was very satisfied with how it worked.
I was glad they started selling it as the 505 meant a special trip to a LQS.
