I only use 505 spray with great results. I just FMQ two baby quilts and they stayed in place with no puckers.
|
I'm a hand quilter and love it. I use the old fashioned quilt stands and boards for frames and C clamps to hold it tight. I would LOVE to machine quilt but don't have the nice big long arm and I get very frustrated trying to sandwich everything together.

Spray baste, and I love it!
|
Spray baste only for me !! and i use 505 only , also when i am done with the quilting i wash my quilt
|
I pin using pinmoor's to hold them. I was using safety pins, but, found it made my fingers sore. With the pinmores I put the pin in a pinmoor on the end . It's faster for me.

The hardest part was going over the quilt and finding all the little things to get them out. Silly me didn't use a contrast color.

I use elmer's school glue quite a bit. i have just started using it and I love it. I am making a trip around the world with 2 1/2" blocks so when i stitch all blocks together then I use the glue to line up seams with the strip and the quilt. It helps keeping everything where it should be and makes for a much nicer less stressful quilt. I will post pic when I get it finished.

I use curved safety pins at approximately hand-width apart. Most of the time I do Stitch in the Ditch, so I make sure not to pin in my path of the machine. Once one direction is completed, I take the pins out and finish any kind of quilting still to be done. Never tried the spray and I don't think I will start. (You should see me with a can of hair spray - a disaster at best)

Yeah, me too! I want to know about Elmer's glue. Do you use a Roxanne Basting glue or do you put Elmer's in the syringe?

I spray baste and put a few pins in the outer edges because I don't spray very well there to avoid over-spraying. I machine quilt. For tying a quilt, I pin and for hand quilting I baste.
