Easiest Spray Basted Quilt
I just spray basted a quilt using 505, 44 x 60, on my ironing board, yes you read that right, and it was the easiest quilt I ever sandwiched! I was looking on youtube.com for spray basting videos and came across this one on using your ironing board and I thought, why not, gave it a look see, and tried it. I'm hooked. She sprays the batting, works from middle down, then middle top. I had to do right side, then left side as my quilt was a little wide. Worked great and I have a new method spray basting.

Thank you for sharing, she had some good tips. I will keep this in mind on my next crib size quilt.

Will try that next time. Thank you.

I didn't watch the whole video but one thing I might add is to cover your floor with an old sheet to catch the overspray. It is really hard to get 505 spray out of carpet. Ask me how I know that one.
I have been spray basting quits on my design wall. I cover the wall with an old sheet and put the quilt back on it. i stick a few pins in to hold it up. Then I pin the batting over it. I spray baste it. I start in the middle and spray it and do the top half, then the bottom half. I do about 3 feet at a time and smooth as I go. Then I add the top and do the same thing. It works really well. I plan to fix it up so I can do this down in my basement. |

Anyone know the name of her Red Black & White quilt. Thinking it will make a nice teen boy quilt . I'll use more teen apprioate fabric. |
That's essentially my basting method too, except I use Elmer's and a warm iron to hurry it along.
