Default Basting spray

I have started using the June Tailor quilt basting spray. I find this much easiers and quicker than pin basting. However the over spray at the edges tends to leave a stickyness on the floor. Does anone else have this issue and if so how do you go about cleaning it up? Thanks

I cover the floor with newspaper to catch the extra spray. Just wad them up and throw them away. I too love using the spray since I am handicapped and unable to quilt any other way. Enjoy

I always put and old towel or blanket underneath and then wash it. If it doesn't come out it's not a problem.

When you spray near the edges, aim from the edge towards the center of the quilt. Be careful not to use too much or it will gum up the needle. I spray in a grid fashion about 6-8" apart. It holds very well. I used to use the June Tailor brand until I discovered the 505 brand. It's so much better! No gumming up the needle and much less stickiness when using. If you get a chance to try it, you will probably like it better.

I use news paper and put the quilt on tables on the patio.

How do you keep the sheet/newspaper from moving around? I have been using blue painters tape to hold the fabric to the floor so it doesn't move or bunch up leaving puckers or ripples on the back of quilt.

I just mop the floor. June Tailor spray seems to just mop up with no problem for me. If I didn't have to baste a quilt, who knows when I'd mop!
