so much for flame retardant... just a gimmick to make you feel safer.

OK, in summation, you can buy 505. You can buy hairspray. You can use both on fabric. One is made for fabric, one is not. Both have chemicals. Hair has oils, so hair spray washes out. Cotton has no oils. 505 may leave a residue in the quilt. Hairspray will leave a residue in fabric.
I think I've got it.
If I grease my quilt, I can use cheap hairspray, but shampoo will foam in the washer....Got it!
Mwhahahahahaha!

Hi Amma,
That was just my thought also.
BE A shame to piece a quilt then to save a few pennies the dye run...
kk2000 is great and is 50% off with the notions at JoAnns and goes a long ways and we know it works great

That is just why KK2000 is so nice it goes away on its own or you can touch wit a dry iron and it irons away. Never use water on any temp spray. The KK2000 will become very stickie. If you read the how to use it is a most wonderful tem spray. I even use it for my appliques to get softer appliques.
I use it for my clothesline bowls and baskets too. I use it to apply laces on garments. Great to hold a button place to be stitched... and it is ozone safe and a green product.
Do not have to go outside to use it. No awfulllll smellll.
Try it you will like it Tee Hee
Also if you use the hair spray you need to wash out the chemicals. you don't with the kk2000 it just goes away

Why not try spraying a sample piece with the hairspray, sew on it some, thro in the washer and see what happens. I have tried to get ink out wth hairspray and you have to really spray it on heavy and blot blot blot and sometimes spray again and blot. The ones who have tried it seem to not have trouble with color fading? Its been a very interesting read. So many opinions and idea. Thats what this is all about. So the only thing to do I guess, is try it you might like it.LOLOLOL
