I spray basted a few quilt tops that I was going to FMQ myself. I now have a problem with my left thumb and wrist that prevents me from doing this sort of thing for any length of time. I have a brace that I wear, but it is somewhat constricting when it comes to moving around (which is exactly what it is supposed to do...). So, I have changed my mind about doing the quilting on them and now want to have Charisma quilt them for me. The problem is: how do I take them apart with the spray basting holding them so nicely together? My idea is to use a basting stitch to baste them loosely, and wash them on a gentle cycle in the washing machine then dry them. Once dry, I would clip the basting stitches and separate the layers. Would that work? Anybody else ever try to un-do spray basting? Would I still be able to use the batting for anything or would it be all wadded up? Thank you in advance for your ideas!
