Thread: just curious

Have you ever used the quilt basting spray for laying out clothing patterns?

Isn't the pattern paper a little thin for that?

Ooh, I think that would make a sticky mess!

I don't think that would work at all....

i would not try it with the origonal tissue --but if you trace the pattern on vilene i think it might work

your fabric will be sticky, not sure how well that may work while trying to handle it... :D:D:D

Yeah that was a dumb question wasn't it? :XD:

OMG!! I hate that stuff... I bought a can of temp basteing spray and that is the darnest stuff to get off.... I use tweezers to hold small items wheile I spray,, and I have usd acetone, alchol, goo gone, WD 40 and LOTS of elbow grease....
I freq will trace a pattern onto freezer paper and them iron it on to the fabric.... works great once..... after than I"m back to pinning.. but I usually dont make too many clothes these days.

Oh yeah, that too! :lol:

I much prefer to trace the pattern on to freezer paper, then iron the freezer paper on to the fabric. I'm too lazy to pin! :)
