Neither can I....the same thing happened yesterday. I guess some of us who are "video challenged" will need to experiment on our own to figure out how "strong" the starch is, whether to let it dry or iron it "wet" etc.etc.

thank you so much for sharing that was a wonderful tute but I would really like to see how you put your blocks together I am sure you have a wonderful method thanks a bunch

I would much rather use spray starch than a basting spray! Seems like it's more 'natural'... less chemicals on the quilt.

you press your quilts after you spray baste with 505? I never do this.. maybe I need to???

I would not use the starch basting on polyester, since it does require using the iron. I did use it on Hobbs 80/20 blend with no issue.

If you go to the post here on the board under Tutorials, I also gave a written breakdown of the method for those who could not view the video. The video is also available on a certain popular video sharing site that I shall not name since that is not allowed, But I have no doubt you could figure it out

I tried a small test piece spraying the batting, then pressing the top, spray then press the backing. I did turn the heat down a bit to not melt the batting and it did stick, but only very slightly. It stuck enough that I could lay it flat and do some basting. It also greatly compresses the polyester bat which does not refluff after laundering. Like I mentioned, these are charity quilts thus the polyester batting. I am only using cotton bats now for my own, for my family and gift quilts.
