Basting woes...any ideas?
Hmmmmm, I spray basted (505) 2 quilts about a month or so ago....put some pins in as well just for good measure and then they waited on my table until now to be quilted. I have just finished quilting them both and man, what a struggle it has been. One quilt was simple walking foot grid quilting, the other, fm meander and with both quilts the tops seemed to not be adhered anymore. I had a lot of shifting and bunching happening with both tops whilst trying to quilt them both. The bottoms of the quilts stayed nicely in place. It drove me nuts...one quilt I unpicked after a quarter finished and re basted with a gazillion pins before re-quilting. The second quilt...in exasperation I gave up, did the best I could with smoothing it out as I quilted and then gave the wretched thing away as soon as it was bound...I'm pretending that one never existed!
Anyone else ever had trouble like this with spray baste? I'm going to try Elmers next time and throw the basting spray away.
