Patsy Thompson shows how she uses the 505 to baste all her quilts and it looks like a neat way to go.

I used the spray on my last 2 quilts and love it, I also pin just to make sure. Will use it all the time now.

I spray everything and if it needs more support, I then tack it with large stitches on my sewing machine, which I pull out later.

I started to spray my latest quilt but my husband absolutely refused to let me do it in the house. He said it was flammable plus the smell would make us sick. It was snowing outside so I couldn't try it there either. Guess I'll wait til spring to try spraying something but it sure sounds lots easier.

For the little FMQ I have done, I like the spray. The pins annoy me and sometimes I have a hard time getting them out. Frustrates me. Did I tell you that I haven't done much FMQ?

Plus it's not so good for the sewing machines

I use the spray mainly on table runners. Be careful of your glasses, a friend ruined a pair by getting the spray on the lenses.
