I did my first sandwich last night with the boards and hand basting. It does make it smooth. Haven't tried it with the spray yet. I am thinking about using pinmoors and pins next one. It took me forever....2 hours...to baste it. Been a while since I basted, and I was trying so hard to do it right.

Hi Diane
I always use Sharon`s method and use 505 to spray baste. I only made a small adjustment as this works out better for me and big quilts. First I roll the back on one board and the batting on the other and spray baste it together with her method. After that I control and roll the back with the batting back on a board and the top on the other one and finish it her way. At first I used the same method as with her handbasting, but folding the batting back and forth was very uncomfortable and not as accurate as doing it in two steps. Hope this helps Granny Thanks! Just the info I wanted to hear!! |
Can Sharon's video for hand basting be used to spray baste? It seems that using the boards you have more control of the fabric. Has anyone tried this? Thanks for any and all suggestions!!
Happy Holidays to all :) |
I've used spray basting for small projects and a lap quilt, and had no problems with it.
|
I will spray baste a small project but prefer Sharons uber big herringbone baste stitch with a big needle and hand quilting thread,
|
I've never spray basted, but would love to...just worried about it somehow messing up my machine. I know with the BSR, I've heard it's not a good idea.
|
I spray baste lapsize quilts and smaller. Haven't tried larger ones.
|
I only spray baste. Just be careful where you do the spraying. Laid the first on on the living room carpet and never could get that stuff out. Made big dark lines when walked on. Could not figure out what it was for awhile.Otherwise I love the spray.

I only spray baste on small projects. Once I used too much, won't do that again.
