Quiltl Spray Challenge
#1
I have encountered my first problem with using quilt spray to anchor my layers together. I used a polished cotton as the backing. Apparently the spay does not bond very well (if at all) with this fabric. I just wondered if anyone else had had a similiar problem? I have been using spray for 8-9 years and this is the first time I've had a problem.

I ran into the same problem on a quillow awhile back... Every time I tried spraying the material the batting would not stick to it at all..I had to really spray the batting to make it stick to the cotton fabric and then it barely held.. I never figured out what the problem was... I hope someone has the answer...

I won't use it again--think it is about all gone anyway. :)

I just finished little "Chinese Take Out" boxes using timtex and wonder-under. One of the fabrics I used was a polished cotton, shiny side towards the inside. The wonder-under was not sticking to it! It would peel right off.
