Just starting with basic quilting and I see there is a lot to learn! That retail site is a great place to shop for bargains I believe, thanks!
Joanofpa, these products are adhesives. You would use spray starch to give fabrics some hmmf to be firm which makes it much easier to piece.
505, June Tailor, Sulky, these products are all basting sprays and spray adhesive. Basically, it's glue in a can. It simplifies the way you prepare your quilt sandwich for quilting. I read a thread about it once, tried it and I love it. I hand quilt so it takes me a long time after it's basted before it's done, but I haven't had any problems with yellowing.
You spray the adhesive onto your batting and then put your quilt top on top. Then, I flip it over, spray the batting on the other side and then lay on the backing. There are a lot of ladies here that spray, but don't pin. I don't trust it that much. So I spray, and pin very sparingly.
