Spray basting is wonderful. I bought some Sullivians basting spray at Hancock Fabrics. I use it to make my sandwich. It holds great and is faster than pinning and much easier on my knees.

505, also Sullivans Origional Spray, both work great

I am a spray basting convert- I will not go back to pinning ever again!

Am a new convert to basting spray, I made my last three quilts with it and one was a queen size. Love at first try! Have used June Taylor and now have 505. The overspray on the June Taylor needs watching but the 505 seems more controlled to me. Must have product!

Just be aware of the fact that it doesn't necessarily work on polyester batting. I learned that here after I tried that for my first one, and NOTHING stuck and I ended up crawling on the floor pinning it anyway. Next time I'll use Warm/Natural, it's supposed to work great on that.

I bought my first can of spray about a month and a half ago. I just got around to trying it for the first time, and I am hooked (and that has nothing to do w/ the fumes!!).! I dislike pin basting, and the stack of finished tops is evidence to that. That stack will be getting smaller. Works great for the smaller projects I have been working on, and was a lifesaver when I used it to baste a quilt I was getting ready for a show. I used the June Tailor spray. As I am almost out, I am anxious to try Bellaboo's Elmer's method before I run out to Joann's. If that works, I'll only have to run out to the dollar store to get a new spray bottle.

I have severe respiratory problems and I'm wondering if any of ya'll have problems with breathing the spray?

Weather permitting, I use it out of doors. Otherwise, I use it in front of an open window and then turn on a fan after I'm done. I don't personally have problems, but it's never good to inhale a concentrated amount of any spray. Better safe than sorry.

I use the Sullivan's Spray Baste from Hancock's. I love it!
My only problems was in the beginning I was using too much and it gummed up on the needle. Didn't hurt my machine but I had to keep cleaning the needle. Also, I do put safety pins about every 12" around the edges of the quilt just because I tend to really manhandle the quilts when I am FMQing. I scrunch instead of rolling.
