I have never used it myself, but from doing all the read on this thread I'm told that basting sprays can be very sticky for the machine needle. I have always used quilting pins myself. I think they are great.

I've used it once, with a poly batting on a small quilt for my grandson & it worked just fine.

I use both

The brand makes all the difference. If you use 505 you will never use pins again. It holds for years, does not shift, does not leave any residue and is so easy to sew!

Thanks for the link www.sewforless.com. I just ordered 12 - 17oz. cans of 505 spray for $153.94. with free shipping. (over $149.00) That makes it only $12.83 a can.That is less than I have paid for the small can. Can you tell I love spray basting my quilts. I have never had any problems when using 505. Lorraine |
I have used Sharon Schambers way of sanwiching the quilt and basting, works great. Doesn't take too long either. My friend uses the spray baste and loves it. She hand quilts. I am going to try the spray baste next time with Sharon's sandwiching method and see if it works. If the spray works, it will take less than 30 minutes to do it all.

i use the spray baste , generally 505 i will never pin a quilt again !! ive used it to hold together from baby quilts to king size quilts with no problem and sometimes it has taken me up to a few weeks to quilt it and the spray is still holding it together and yes once you are done and wash the quilt the spray is gone also no chemicals left on the quilt nake sure the spray you by is for quilting or material ect i read where someone else sprayed there quilt but the spray glue they used was not for this purpose
