IMHO the best to use is 505 spray ... I don't like the June Tailor brand. Here's what it looks like ..... http://cdn.marymaxim.ca/media/catalo.../1/7/17780.jpg |

As for using with hand quilting ... I don't do hand quilting, though I know some use it when they do. |

A friend says she puts the backing and the batting together first, (spraying with 505), then smooths it out and then does the quilt top in the same manner. She claims it is easier to smooth.
Before I do this, I would like to know if this method works well and if any of you have done this? Thanks in advance for your input. Elaine |

The 505 holds it all together so there's no need for handbasting the sandwich. And keeps it together as you quilt. |
This is how I do it also. Much easier.

Starting in the center, spray a quarter of the quilt, smooth the batting, repeat with the other 3 corners. Flip it and do the same thing with the front. Easy as pie to get your entire quilt smooth and even
