I use the 505 spray now, smells better, cleans up nicer but more expensive. I have probably spray-basted 35 or more quilts. Make sure that you don't use too much spray and I like to put old sheets and stuff around the edges so I don't get spray on the floor (or tables,or wherever)
I use an old blanket under everything - yes, it gets sticky, but is good for some laughs when your feet stick to the blanket and you are fighting the batting to stay off your hands! But well worth it :!: :!: :!:
