Please reassure me about basting spray
#11
I love the 505 spray -- it's definitely the best stuff around. Others that I've used have shifted and even "let go" entirely after a couple of months. But if you're still nervous about using it, definitely pin a little -- but I think you'll be pinning for the last time :wink:

I use just the spray basting. I have used it on dozens of quilts. I use the 505 spray. Don't spray too heavily but do cover the area. I haven't had a problem with anything shifting except for a quilt that I sprayed 4 years ago with a cheaper spray and I only had to respray the corners.

I've never tried spray basting.
Does it just dissapate? Why is it good to use? I guess that 505 stuff is best, does it have a brand name? Do you breathe it? Are these silly questions?

I think it holds well, but I have not let it set too long becore I did the machine quilting. It really needs to be sprayed in an area with lots of ventillation. I take it outside when weather permits and the temperature is high enough. (Didn't take it out in the winter.) I start in the middle with the quilting and work my way towards the outer areas. :lol:

Those of you who have, does it make it harder to hand quilt?
I hate basting!!!
