Dritz Basting Spray
#21
I made the mistake once of using a cotton/poly for a backing and the June Tailor wouldn't work at all. I took it back and the salesperson told me it was because it only worked on cotton. Just throwing that out there.

Most important: use Elmer's WASHABLE School Glue.
As an asthmatic, I can't use spray glue. Elmer's is not only a lifesaver, it is quick, easy, and cheap!

The JoAnns near my house carries 505, but only in the smaller cans. I like it and have good luck with it so I use it. I've never had any problems so I consider it worth not having end up with a mess on my hands.

I can't use spray basting either, also because of asthma (which for some reason is much worse this year than in past years). That's one reason I stick to pin basting, or hand basting. Asthma attacks (or incidents) can be deadly, and I'm not about to take that risk. I wish I could help you on this issue, but I really cannot. I hope you find a solution to your problem. I use a high quality 100% poly batting, so the spray basting is not an option.
Perhaps I'm brain dead this afternoon, but eventually, both sides of the batting have to be basted. First your quilt top, then your batting, then the backing. How can you avoid spraying the scrim side, since the batting is in the center? As I said, I may be brain dead!
