Ditto Scissor Queen. I order several cansof 505 when Joann's has it on sale online. I have never tried the other brands but the 505 works so well I don't want to try something I may not like.

After reading all of the comments, I wonder if the batting choice had anything to do with the problems.

I used Dritz just a few week ago with no problem. It was an old can I had on hand. I wonder if the product is now a different mixture? The next big thing to be created for quilting should be a fool proof perfect basting tool.

I know lots of people use the 505 spray, but I refuse to spend that much money. I tried the June Tailor and it was ok, also tried the Dritz and got 2 bad cans (wouldn't spray). That was the end of spray basting for me. I have just finished my first quilt using liquid school glue and love the results. It's easy, no fumes, no messy overspray, very cheap and will hold until you wash it out. I now know what I will use for all future basting!

I just finished a 63" x 63" quilt and had used Dritz Basting Spray. By the time I was done, (this was a picture quilt) there were more and more wrinkles in the top. They won't iron out in fact it may have made it worse. I have used this spray before without any problems, but not this time. I am also concerned that it may have been the batting that contributed to the problem. I am going to throw the whole thing in the washer and if this doesn't work, I will need to throw the whole thing out and start over. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know. Thank you

505 is my go to spray. Ive bought from Amazon but the prices have gone up quite a bit. I found it on Walmart.com much cheaper.

Sounds like it was a permanent glue spray, not temporary. I haven't used Dritz spray, but other brands worked well.
