My husband bought 2 sheets of wall board insulation. It works great! I taped the two sheets together and it stands against the wall in my sewing room. I just pin the backing to the boards and spray each layer. Be sure to cover the floor and everything around the wall to avoid any overspray.

Makes sense to me, and it's what I plan to do.

I got flannel backed tablecloth, zigzagged two lengths together and put this on a wall in my garage. It worked great except I had a problem with the spray that went on the floor. I used newspaper on the floor to catch the overspray, but then the newspaper stuck to my feet. I tried an old sheet and that was a little better but still the stickiness on my feet.
Any suggestions?

How about a wooden frame with thumb screws in the corners.You could put the foam inside the frame.You could use clamps all around the edges.Then take the frame a part when done.Connie in CO

Have you ever spray basted before? If you haven't you will need to keep in mind that there is overspray that will get on your wall & floor. You will also be breathing in some of it.

I used to spray baste on my living room floor, using newspaper to reduce the overspray. It helped but didn't stop it. I stopped the spray basting when we got new carpet.

I also wore a painter's mask but it got hot when I was working on those big king size quilts.

Good luck with your project! I hope it will turn out exactly like you have in mind!

My DH put a strip of carpet tack board at the top of the wall in the hallway. I sew baste a hanging strip on the backing & quilt top & then just use the tacks to hold the hanging strip, batting & top in place & then I tape to the wall. I baste my layers together cause I hand quilt. Usually DH does the basting for me as he so tall.

What about using a 4x8 sheet of insulation foam that contractors use for homes and cover it with felt or batting. When not in use you can put it away (if you have the space).
