Gave it a good heavy spray before I noticed which can I had in my hand! Have you ever tried to wash that stuff out! Not easy! I think I got it all. Sure don't want to redo the whole border. Takes over an hour to do. You can bet I will remember to put the spray baste back where it belongs from now on. Not on the ironing board!
Sorry, but I have to say I've done the same thing, but I only had a light mist by the time I noticed.

You made me feel good about myself. I didn't spray basting spray, but I sprayed glass cleaner on my hair the other day. Couldn't figure out why hair spray smelled so wierd! I had cute hair at work that day. Didn't have time to correct the problem.

I guess it's better than brushing your teeth with brylcream than toothpaste like a friend did once. :lol: :lol:

My dear dad (may he rest in peace) once grabbed the Preparation H instead of toothpaste! My mom threw socks in the toilet instead of the dirty clothes hamper. I've put milk in the pantry instead of the fridge. We all do it!

Many a morning AFTER a late night of sewing, I've grabbed the lip liner pencil instead of the black eye liner pencil and just started in on my eye.....

It tends to bring out the red eyes immediately

Suddenly my day doesn't sound so bad. Thanks for making me feel better.

If we can't laugh at ourselves, someone else will be there to do it for us - might as well join in the fun!

Yeah. I still laugh about the night we wanted shakes and pizza. Once everybody was served, I put things away in the oven to stay warm and freezer to stay cold. But Whoops! I switched them so the pizza froze (no big deal) but YIKES the oven sure was a mess with the melted ice cream all over.

My DD who thinks quilters need a 12 step program said she hopes none of us ever get in the same room together. LOL
