Very interesting!

I use free standing rigid insulation for a design board without felt or flannel on it and hang my backing on it, spray baste, add batting, spray, and then add top, I also use safety pins around the edge. This is so much easier than bending over a table or kneeling on the floor.

When I spray baste, I use my dining room table. It's very large. I lay out the batting first and then put the backing on top. I seem to get the wrinkles out better that way. Generally, I fold back half of the quilt, spray about a foot or so and them smooth. Spray another foot and smooth. After I get the backing on, I flip it over and do the top. I'm sure there are many better ways, but this one is working for me right now. |
I like the Dritz quilt temporary spray. Buy it at Joanns, when I have a coupon. Was disappointed in 505 as I personally felt it did not stick as well as the Dritz. I'm sorry I have not had any good luck with the June Taylor brand. am anxious to look for the Elmer brand, anything that is cheaper at this point is worth trying....

I'm using the Birch basting spray which I bought at Spotlight. Heard so much about the 505 and wanted to try that out, but I don't think it's available in Singapore. Maybe dropping by a LQS to see what else is available.
