It holds through the entire process. I've taken a project off the L.A. and leave it for 2-3 days and come back to it and it's held up as if I just basted that day.
It comes out in the wash after the first washing.
Note - If you use spray baste to hold down any templates for quilting (i.e. - acrylic templates) you will need to remove the spray baste from the templates with something like nail polish remover. Learned this the hard way ;-). Have fun!
I cannot remember who put the video up but I saw on YouTube someone recommended 505. I am fortunate to have an entire wall of a shop outside the house that I can pin old sheets on (newspaper on the floor) and spray away then leave. I may have read it in a book, sorry, don't remember. I have bought a can and am going to try it. I used some (from Hancock's) on a baby quilt and it worked great except I had to stop every few stitches and use the tweezers to get a glob off the needle. Other than that, no problem. I don't think the glue was interfering with my sewing, I think it was interfering with my OCD (obsessive, compulsive disorder. :-D
