I used it for the first time after the last post when someone inquired and I am definitely going to use it for my future projects.

I prefer the 505 over the others. It isn't so strong that it feels stiff and it washes out the first wash. The other one I also like for table runners and such is sulky KK2000. Haven't had a problem with either one. I used Sullivans a couple of times but it was almost too sticky. This is just my opinion.

Only way to go, I have used Dritz, June Taylor, and now 505. I bought a case of it in a red canmso I won't run out!

I do believe if I shook with all my might with my left and right arms I might give myself a black eye from all that loose skin flapping about! LOL - The one thing Weight Watchers doesn't tell you is how loose everything is (for us older folks) once you've lost a lot of weight (96 lbs!) - I feel like a dried prune!

I love it if I can get outdoors or into the garage to spray. I don't like it on my floors and countertops in the sewing room

I noticed that Joann Fabric has June Taylor Basting Spray 12 oz can is on sale - for $5.49.

Is it worth trying? What does everyone feel are the pros and cons of using this instead of pins.

Thanks

I use this (very, very lightly) to refresh my Cricut cutting mats. Not exactly a quilting answer I know. I love cross-over products!

I love it. I use it all the time. I used to pin and baste but this is so much faster. I don't think I will ever go back.

Go to the search icon and type in spraybasting video for the wall. It is a good idea. Eliminates a lot of mess.

It is the only way I baste quilts, it was the way I was taught. Have NEVER pin basted.

Actually I rarely use pins when making quilts.
