Home made basting spray???
Has anyone tried this home made basting spray? I am not to sure how this will work as you have flour, water, salt, and rubbing alcohol or one of the newer video she used Vodka. Please let me know if you use this and how you like it. Thanks

Not worth the time to make for me. I use Elmer's school glue diluted with only enough water to spray out of a vacuum pump sprayer. I use a hot iron to set the glue For small projects I use quilt basting spray any brand.

The school glue is so inexpensive, I would have no reason to try anything else, UNLESS some day I needed some "right now"and happened to run out. So I think I will keep this recipe handy.
But I can't find the recipe. She says there is a link, but I can't find it. Can someone help? Thanks.

Thanks everyone.....I guess I will stick to the Elmer's glue too, I didn't know that you could dilute the school glue and use a spray bottle. i was just drizzling it on the quilt right from the bottle. This worked for me but sometimes it would come out more then I wanted and there would be a bigger spot of glue on the quilt. I am going to try diluting it and find a spray bottle to use. I think I will go to the dollar store for that.Thanks everyone..
I didn't know how the flour would be in that recipe,

I am very interested in trying this Elmer's glue method. I do my sandwiching on the floor and, no matter how careful I am, I end up getting spray on my floors. That stuff is so hard to get up. Elmer's glue would be much easier to clean.

If you are going to sandwich on the floor, place a clean sheet down first to protect the carpet from the glue. I tried Elmer's once and have given away my quilt pins.
