Starching it is a good idea. I'll try it.

i've had different fabrics give me grief moving them around. it may be that.

I think it may be the fabric. I've never had any problems with 505 spray.

Thanks for the link.

I will be looking at the links too!

Is this the same 505 spray that is used for machine embroidery? Has anyone tried Gunold's KK100 spray for embroidery or for quilt basting? I saw the Gunold's spray at a LQS that also features embroidery machines and I would like to know if anyone has tried it.

I only use the 505 for my embroidery because it does adhere so well. For basting my quilts I use quilt basting spray -think I have June Taylor , so I can smooth out the wrinkles more easily

I use 505 all the time & have not experienced this problem.
Did you spray heavily? I spray lightly, with a quick side to side motion, onn the batting.
I roll my quilt up, starting at the top align it, & begin to slowly unroll, smoothing, as I go. I find there are less puckers this way.
I do the back first, then turn the backing down, spray the batting again & do the front.
I don' t spray all the way to the edge, usually stop 4-5 " from it. Maybe when you sprayed, some got on the back of the quilt which is hanging it up?

Not an expert, but I always let it dry for about 30 seconds before I "attach" it to whatever. It seems to stick better.

I use a "Supreme Slider" to help the fabric move around freely. Helps a lot. CHeck out Leah Day's website (daystyledesigns.com)
