I use it for all my large projects. I love it. I stock pile it when Joanne's has a coupon.

I prefer to take the time to hand-baste my quilts than to inhale those fumes.

I love it. I have used two different brands. The first was a low oder and washed out it seemed to me the new can I have is much more stinky and it seems to take a few washings. Not sure because I have only used it a few times and after the first washing thy went to new homes. I think for what you are doing a glue stick might be better. But that is only for controle. Good luck with your project.

I would test any spray that comes from the hardward store for staining on scrap fabric. Just a suggestion. 505 and Dritz have both been good for me. If more than light spraying with Dritz I did have needle gum up. Yes they are expensive but go a long way. One can Dritz did maybe 15+ quilts/wall hangings

For what you are doing, you might find it easier to work with Elmer's washable glue. It would be easier to control around the edges than the spray baste.

In general though, I love spray baste!

I use Sullivan's Quilt Basting Spray. It is temporary & doesn't gum up my needle at all. I love it! I also use school glue for small things. News paper protects from over-spray. I use this method for whole quilts. http://www.thequiltshow.com/os/blog.php/blog_id/2566

Elmer's makes a spray adhesive which is very inexpensive. I haven't tried it on fabric to sew on it.

I love the spray basting products, I wear a mask when I spray it though. (I got the kind people use doing lawn work at Home Depot.) It keeps the glue from going in your nose or mouth.

I was leary of it at first. Then I bought a can to use for the large quilted bag I was making for my son's girlfriend. After using it I thought...what was I afraid of. I have Dritz and I don't find much of an odor at all when using it. I don't wear a mask...have them for when I make soaps using lye. I use an old bedsheet to protect wherever I am spraying.

When I made my large round Christmas table topper I also used it. It makes your project go so much quicker than having to stand there pinning the layers together. I finished piecing my table runner yesterday and have my batting and backing fabric cut and ready to spray so I can start the quilting. Oh...on my table topper..the middle circle I placed 4 things that I wanted to do hand applique. The girl at Joann's told me to use the basting spray on them to hold them in place. They were cut out of felt. Used it and it worked perfect for that too.

I love it...first time I tried it was actually today and I am amazed at how easy to use and how flat my quilt is laying!
