OK. You convinced me, I have finished 30 12" blocks and I am going to QAYG and I am going to use 505. Just tell me, when you sew, doesn't the glue stick to your machine needle? Doesn't it get sticky? Normally, I use a garter stitch and first to the backing to the batting and then again the top to the batting. So I take me forever before I can start quilting! This will be so much easier!

LOVE IT. JUNE TAILOR IS THE BEST. Tried others and the fumes were horrible.
Do the spraying in an open area and cover what you do not want to tack to your quilt. If you overspray "thing" there is a spray baste remover DK5 that workswell. AGAIN, the fumes. Open a window. Peg

I love love love my basting spray. I don't think I'll ever make a quilt without it. I haven't tried June Taylor's yet...I do have a can, though, grabbed it on sale. My last can of 505 just ran out when I basted the one I'm quilting now, so I'll give you a review on the next one. lol 505 is AWESOME though!

Is it worth trying? What does everyone feel are the pros and cons of using this instead of pins.
Thanks
