JoAnn's does carry 505 online. They also put it on sale 50% off once in a while and when they do I order 3 or 4 cans.

Ditto Scissor Queen. I order several cansof 505 when Joann's has it on sale online. I have never tried the other brands but the 505 works so well I don't want to try something I may not like.

After reading all of the comments, I wonder if the batting choice had anything to do with the problems.

I used Dritz just a few week ago with no problem. It was an old can I had on hand. I wonder if the product is now a different mixture? The next big thing to be created for quilting should be a fool proof perfect basting tool.

It's easy, no fumes, no messy overspray, very cheap and will hold until you wash it out. I now know what I will use for all future basting!
Please explain more about using school glue to baste a quilt sandwich!!!

Joanns.com carries the 505. I bought several cans when they had them 50% off. Im always surprised what the .com has that isnt in their stores.

I just finished a 63" x 63" quilt and had used Dritz Basting Spray. By the time I was done, (this was a picture quilt) there were more and more wrinkles in the top. They won't iron out in fact it may have made it worse. I have used this spray before without any problems, but not this time. I am also concerned that it may have been the batting that contributed to the problem. I am going to throw the whole thing in the washer and if this doesn't work, I will need to throw the whole thing out and start over. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know. Thank you

i just saw on an episode of a quilting show on the Create channel [can't remember which one, but it was very recent]... do not spray baste on the scrim side of any batting that has a scrim... it causes the fabric to have waves/wrinkles.

505 is my go to spray. Ive bought from Amazon but the prices have gone up quite a bit. I found it on Walmart.com much cheaper.

Sounds like it was a permanent glue spray, not temporary. I haven't used Dritz spray, but other brands worked well.
