Need help here. I am going to be making a quilted tote and want to use the spray basting method (I am lazy and hate to baste). My teacher at the applique club showed me a queen sized quilt that she used the spray baste method for and it was beautiful. At the Bernina shop they use 505. I recently acquired some Sulky KK2000. It appears to be the same type of product. Is it and do any of you have any experience with it?

Thanks for any info you all can provide.

I have not tried the Sulky, I use the 505 and have tried the June Taylor and one other, really like the 505. Sorry I can't help you on the Sulky

I have used the Sulky and it was fine. However, from what I have read, the 505 has less odor. The one thing I don't like abut spray basting is the odor from the spray. It goes away, of course, but while spraying it's best to be outdoors or in a well-ventilated room.

I have used several different types of spray. All worked fine, but all needed good ventilation while spraying.

I use the 505, haven't tried the other.
I like using it.

Also check to see what kind of batting they recommend. The June Tailor one I have says it works best with cotton batting and also it is intended for use with cotton quilting fabric.

I have used both and they both work the same. You might want to spray out in the garage or patio though. And maybe put some paper down for the overspray.

Thanks so much for the guidance. I have one small project cut out that will use it and will be cutting another out tomorrow.

You guys are the best!!!!!!! :)

I really like basting spray. Not the best for the environment, probably, but sooo much easier! I like the 505 and Sulky, didn't like June Tailor.

Hi there,
I have not used 505 or Sulky for quilting, but I have used them for my embroidery and have not had issues wth either. Use smaller amounts of teh SUlky though than the 505. Hope this helps.

Thanks for all your help. It gave me the courage to try it. I have been quilting fabric for a tote bag and so far the sulky kk2000 (which I got with a large batch of sulky products on Ebay) has worked well.
