Spray Basting????
 

When you spray baste a quilt do you pin it also?

It depends:
1.) which spray I use. It seems some sprays hold more than others. But if I am using the Sullivan's spray - I do not pin.
2.) when am I going to start sewing. If I spray and sew on the same day, then I do not pin. If I am spraying but not able to sew it for a few days or more - then I pin. And I do not pin close maybe, 10 inches apart.

There is a spray out there that will release its properties in a few hours. I use that for my machine embroidery but accidentally used it for quilting once, and was very disappointed that I wasted the spray and that I had done the work and it was all for not.

I use 505 and have waited up to a month with no problems. I do not pin.

I thread baste the Sharon Schamberg way. Houndstooth. Spray basting gives me a headache.

I use 505 and Mettler's, never had a problem with the layers shifting. I do not pin anymore!

I pin it also. I'm a hand quilter with a hoop and it takes me a while to get it finished, sometimes years so I like to have the pins in for insurance. Usually, they're not needed. I'm learning to machine quilt and I use few or none for those small projects.

No, I do not pin. I do sometimes give just a little more spray on the corners after testing to see how "sticky" they are. I never have a problem as long as I watch my sides to make sure they don't get folded under. I FMQ all over the quilts and very rarely have a tucking issue

I do too. I love 505. I just wish it was a little less expensive, but it still hasn't stopped me from using.

I only spray and pin when I can't quilt it soon. If it has to sit around for a few days, I pin just to be certain. I know the spray is not supposed to evaporate but, just in case.

I only spray when I am birthing a placemat or table runner to keep the batting in place. I prefer using pins because if there is a problem, it is the easiest method to be able to repair the problem. I live in an apt so no yard or open area to use in order to spray. Just know the only important thing is WHAT WORKS BEST FOR YOU!! Good Luck.

What is the name of the spray that you use for machine embroidery? Thanks

For embroidery I use Sulky KK 2000. It is a temporary spray adhesive. Only spray it on the stabilizer though.

I never pin - only use 505 and have let it sit for at least a month or more with no problem. I have no problem with the spray, find it generally odorless - although I know some people are a lot more sensitive than I am.

I was wondering if you spray when you are going to hand quilt?
