Basting spray ALERT!
#1
I've not heard of this happening before....check out this article. http://myqbot.blogspot.com/
In short -- a woman used basting spray on her quilt and it yellowed the white backing. The yellow won't come out. I DO question whether she put the quilt in a heated dryer to fluff it after quilting.......maybe it set the spray in -- I don't know. But just an ALERT!!!! :shock:

It would help to know which brand of spray it was and whether it was in-date or out-of-date. I went to the blog and it didn't say.
Someone else here posted about yellow stains from a basting spray, but it was an off-brand and also quite old.

I love basting sprays. Use them all the time. But on the last quilt I finished it left 2 stains on a darker tan color. It dried looking wet in 2 spots. I did wash the quilt in cold to try and get them out and nothing. They were both just bigger than a quarter. Not sure what happened. They showed up immediately. I didn't have a problem anywhere but those two spots. I thought maybe I used a bit too much. makes me a bit leery now
