I just finished fmq'ing a queen I spray basted with a few pins on the edges. Yeah, I know, what was I thinking? The results were great, not one pucker! Just remember if you spray baste, put newspapers around your project, you will have over spray.

Question regarding the 505 spray.....I use the Sulky 2000 spray...i love the factt that it doesnt "stay".
I bought some other spray that was aweful and semi permanent. I didn't like the look that it gave the item. Does 505 stay? look sticky (wavy) forever? I too use the Sharon Shamber method for basting. |
I pin baste and move the pin when i get to it.Connie in CO

I use both the spray and pin methods on my small items. It just depends on what pattern I want to use, sometimes the pattern does not do well for pins.

l've had luck w/June Tailor spray basting from Walmarts. It's cheaper than most other and it holds up well and I didn't have problems w/gunking up my needle

Thank you for this tip. I also use the Sharon Schambers method of basting and just finished pulling all my basting threads out of a lap throw I free motion quilted. It never occurred to me to use wash away thread. Brilliant! I'll use it next time.

I do pin for FMQ just remove pins as I get close to them! ;)
