I am trying Quilt As You Go for the first time and was following a method where you baste your sandwich together with basting spray.

I thought I had the ideal solution to how to do it indoors. It had been raining for 2 weeks straight and so I had to do it indoors. (The garage is totally under siege by my DH's project car).

I use a chest of drawers for my cutting ironing surface (it is 4 feet long and the perfect height for my tallness!). I took a sheet and covered the top surface then continued up the wall and pinned the sheet to the curtains. My work surface is below the window. Then I took other sheets and blocked off the sides so there wouldn't be any stickiness on my cuckoo clock, lamp or iron.

So I sprayed and basted. But wow! Now my whole room is sticky...even behind where I was standing! My machine and extension table, my computer keyboard and monitor, my books....ARGHHHH!

Who has the solution to this gigantic overspray?? I was using Sullivan's Original Basting Spray (pink can).
