I've used 505 spray consistently over the last 20 years and have never had any problems, nor have my kids had any with the grandkids and believe me, they wash quilts often!

I use it on any quilt that I do not put on the long arm. I use it for baby quilts and wall hangings. Sometimes, I wash the quilt when it's done and sometimes I don't. I have never had a problem with it and I will continue to use it.

One of the renowned quilters (gosh I cannot recall her name right now) said that she had a quilt sprayed with 505 for 4 years and it was still good. I like it better than Sullivan's - I can barely smell the chemicals of the 505. It handles nicely during the quilting process and the quilt feels soft after the wash. Larger quilts ARE A BUGGER to spray and get to lay smoothly. My setup leaves a bit to be desired so I have to reposition the layers from time to time until I get everything right.

I've used it on my quilts, and never had a problem. In fact the quilt I have over my sofa has been washed more times than I care to think about (vomit courtesy of old puddy cat) and havent seen or felt anything that would vaguely make me think that that 505 is being "shed".

I do have a question though. I've had a wee break from quilting over this past year and I recently went to sandwich a top and back that I had worked on summer of last year, but when I used my 505 there was no tackiness and it nothing stuck! Does it eventually go off? Or was it just a fluke?
