I only baste with Elmer's Washable Glue. No pins needed. I use Wonder Clips to match seams when sewing blocks.
|
I used to use the Sullivan spray baste and never had to pin but they have changed the formula of it and it is so sticky that I don't like it at all. Which spray baste do you gals find to work the best?

My friends spray baste instead of pinning. I have never heard them complain about spray basting but always they say so much easier than doing all the pinning.

I only pin around the edges. Mostly it's because I sometimes have to pack them away before I am finished quilting.

I spray baste and sometimes iron the sandwich together with vleisofix. If it is a large quilt, I also stitch sections to make sure they stay square. I never pin anything.
|
I spray baste my quilts too but if they are larger or I know that they will be move around a lot because of how I am quilting, I will lightly pin. Depending on the pattern of the blocks every 12 - 18 inched. It is more for my assurance than anything else.

I use the washable glue and it works just fine.

Once I discovered spray basting, the pins went away forever! I've never had any problems with wrinkling on the back. I don't spray heavily so it's pretty easy to adjust. It does require smoothing the fabric and flipping the quilt several times but it's a good investment of time. Once I'm finished, I easily quilt up to a queen quilt on my DM. I can even fold it up and put it away if I need to and it's just fine. I will never pin again.

I used to pin - then found my fingers were cramping something awful to open and close the pins. Then I switched to spray baste - the overspray really bothered me. No I swear by Elmer's washable school glue. Love it!!
