    Question Quilt Sandwich for Domestic with 505

    I am getting ready to do the quilt sandwich before custom quilting with my Bernina 880 Plus. Here is my thinking. Using Quilters’s Dream Orient batting. 1. Put down painters thin plastic drop cloth over our 4x6 cutting table. 2. Find & mark center of batting and backing. 3. Smooth first half of backing on table & spray a band of 505 Spray Glue on backing. 6. Line up batting and hand press onto glued backing continue on in sections to end of backing then turn and do other half. 4. Find/mark center of quilt top and center of batting on this side. 5. Spray a band of 505 on center of batting, line up center of quilt top and hand press onto batting. Continuing to end of top.

    Does this sound like it will work? Would you also pin?

    Sounds like a good plan! I spray baste using the Sharon Schamber "board" method. There are tutorials on YouTube. You might want to have a look for future projects.

    As to pinning in addition to spray basting, I pin for larger projects where there will be a lot of handling through the harp. You don't have to pin as closely as you would if you were pin basting only. Just here and there as an extra precaution.

    Good luck!

    FW- I don't know how many quilts you've made but I use Elmer's Washable School Glue for basting. It works great. I just drizzle it on and wait overnight. It holds up well for quilting and then washes out.
    However, your method sounds great.

    A couple of considerations for your methods.

    The plastic sheet is going to cause everything to slide.

    Yes, to number 2. Mark all centers on the layers.

    Don't spray until you have the layers positioned using those center marks.

    Then fold back and spray the layer. RE Position the next layer and smooth.

    These small changes in spraying will allow you to position the layers easier. You won't be fighting the basting spray.

    I don't pin the layers.

    Good luck!

    Me too, plus less expensive, no fumes and no overspray to worry about. I love me some Elmer's Washable School Glue!!

    I use Elmer's scoop glue, never have a problem with pleats or shifting. Have other problems but Elmer's works very well and no gumming or fumes.

    I agree with Rhonda that you should lay the first two layers out, then sort of peel the top layer back to the centre, spray an 18" width strip and then layer the top piece down and back in place completely while you make sure there are no pleats or ripples. Then lift the top layer back to where it is stuck and repeat. Once one half is done, do the other half. Then, put your next layer on and repeat.

    I use your method with much success for all of my wall quilts. However, for the larger quilts, I don't feel that 505 holds well enough if you are doing much handling. I generally pin also particularly if I am going to FMQ.
