I have been reluctant to spray baste because the spray seems so expensive. About how many quilts (say about 60 x 72) would one can do?

Many churches have rehersals and meetings during the day on Saturdays (choirs, ushers, etc.) Contact your minister and inquire about using the tables in Fellowship Hall, Kitchen, Conference Room (whereever there are tables)during these rehersals. Our church does it all the time for various member activities. The only requirement is that they leave the area exactly as they found it. There is no expense to the church and they would be providing a help to members of the congregation. A token donation to the benevolent fund or a Biblical themed wall hanging would be a nice gesture.

I think that may be the hardest part...at least for me...but then I am not good enough to do really complicated quilts.

I am new here so Hi !!! I just learned about the basting spray but have not used it. I saw a you tube thingy about using Aqua Net spray in place of the basting spray so I tried it. I smelled so bad, too strong. My quilt did not stay together very well either. So I may try the other spray but I have not thought of using king size bed. Hope the spray does not stick to everything else, floor, maybe use newspaper?

I bought mine at Country Fabrics in Shiloh, Ohio. It is an Amish-made wooden quilting frame. Cost about $125 for a full-size quilt frame. They have a web site but are not set up to take orders online. Call them at the phone number on the Internet.

Hi! I recently did a 120 x 120 and I find I don't actually have even floor space . So I like to quilt as you go method and it takes a lot of strain off of your shouders and arms and back and especially your Knees. Trish

I will NEVER thread baste a quilt again.
The only exception (there is always one to every rule) would be making a quilt with a pieced back. SPRAY, SPRAY, SPRAY Besides, I am always late with quilts so anything that makes the process faster and easier is wonderful. But I HATE finishing quilts - 6 done this last year - none with binding. |
What are you folks using for spray basting and how do you use it> This is the first I have heard of it, sounds like it would let go before I go a queensized quilt quilted and would make the needles sticky.
