Default My children may need your help

I have set up a small wish list on amazon.com for Christmas. It consists mostly of small supplies and a Sizzix cutter. I have told my kids (they are grown) if they have any questions to ask you guys. After all you are the experts

And I have a question - which brand of basting spray do you prefer? I have tried twice. Once was great! Once I didn't wait long enough for it dry - not a good idea! So I would like to try basting spray to see how that works for me.

Thank you in advance for any help you may give to them!!

My favourite brand of basting spray is 505 but I have not tried the new one yet.

I gave up spray basting when I tried Elmer's School Glue.

I'm really happy with 505 spray. It sticks right away, and I have sometimes waited months before FMQ a spray-basted quilt with no problems at all.

505 for me. I have not tried the newest one, though, that is supposed to be more web-like with less overspray (can't remember the name).

I use Elmers glue also....not the stick, but the type in the bottle that is white. I find it works great, washes right out. I just had my machine cleaned last week and I asked Bob if there was a lot of "gunk" in there. He said no just flannel fuzz....so I told him I use Elmers glue to hold quilts together instead of pins etc. and he said it didnt seem to be a problem with gumming up; so that made me extra happy
