That's 2 amazing tips in one post! Thanks!

Perfect timing for me and my quilt, thank you! I love this idea! I'm a big fan of starch (usually non-aerosol) and look forward to trying this out! Truth be told, I've never used spray basting because of the health warnings associated w it.

Thank you for taking the time to make a tutorial for us. I am certainly going to try this. I love spray basting and this will be much cheaper.

I would sure be interested in any experiences you all have if you sandwich with spray starch but don't start the quilting for several weeks or a month or so. I find myself in this situation a lot and wouldn't want to have to redo the sandwich. If it stands the test of time this would be really great!!!

Wow, thanks for the video! This will save me tons on spray basting. 505 has its place, but it's pretty spendy and like you, I'd rather spend that money on fabric.

Has anyone seen the guy who bastes smaller projects with Aquanet Extra Super Hold? LOL it's true! I think I first saw this link here on the board.

Thank you so much for sharing. I am going to follow your lead and spray baste with starch!

I tried it today....thanks so much, worked like a charm. I was making a duffle bag for an incoming trip so you tutorial was perfect...
Thanks Again.

I'm going to run to the store and buy up some starch. I usually use a basting spray like June Tailors but haven't been able to find much of anything lately at JoAnn's. I have blocks stacked up waiting to get some but the cost of a 505 or something similar is so high. I certainly will try out this technique. I usually only spray one or two blocks at a time anyway, don't know how much I'll get done. Thanks so much.

For some reason i can't seem to get the video on using spray starch for basting.....darn.....
It just shows a gray square area and a bunch of words.....it sounds like a clever idea and i like the wine rack use......

I do a lot of quilts for Project Linus and we use polyster batting. I really don't like it and machine quilting on the stuff is always a challenge. Have you tried the spray starch on polyester? My concern is in the pressing as it is so easy to sort of melt the batting and it becomes stiff. I have done the 505 on polyester but that one can be pressed with a little lower heat.
