"I love 505, but it's expensive. After a recommendation, I tried Aqua Net (yes, the awful hair spray!) and it works great. You can reposition, it stays stuck, and there's no discoloration. The ingredients are also almost identical to 505...and it's less than two bucks for a HUGE can."
Thank you everyone for your input. I too was leery of the hair spray as a basting tool. It was an interesting idea, but think I'll just skip the sprays, and stick to pin basting, even if the back is wrinkled or puckered.
Any other ideas on how to get a smooth backing when machine quilting. I've tried the 1/3 quilting as I go, and had to take out the stitches on that technique too.
