Spray basting
 

I'd first like to say to all on this Board that I have learned soon much from all of you! The Quilt Board is my morning read with coffee everyday!My question is, has anyone spray basted onto a fleece backing? Thanks for any and all inputChris

That is an interesting question. I live in apt complex so I have no place to spray safely.

Maniacquilter2 I live in an apt. too and for anything bigger than crib size, I tape to the outside of the block wall surrounding the dumpsters. Works for me but does tend to attract the curious and create a flood of clothing repair requests which I politely decline. Not trying to highjack your question thread mess, so if your question is quilt specific make a trial square of the exact fabrics and see what you think. If it is fleece in general I suspect yes but only if it is not too stretchy.

I spray baste regular cotton,fleece,minkey,batting....it's all good.

Yes, no problems.

I have several times.. no problems

Yip, no difference from spray basting any other sandwich.

The fumes just really get to me so no spray basting in the house. Bay winds make it difficult so I try to spray with the direction of the wind. Hate when it tries to do a "whip around".

Yes, I have ... You can see the quilt and read more about how I sandwiched and then quilted it.

I was pleased with the end results!!

Yes. Check the stretchieness of the backing. I did have some which was very stretchy and I didn't use.

Thank you all so dry much! This will relieve my fingertips greatly!I'd also like to say that I've learned so very much from all of you on this blog. Everything from techniques, product recommendations, and inspirations.

QuiltE, that is fabulous input!Thanx, Chris

Thank you ... I just shared my experience and I know others have more ideas too.
If you have any more questions, please be sure to ask!

I'll echo your sentiments about learning from others here on the Quilting Board.
I also know my quilting knowledge and ability grew in leaps and bounds from my participation here and am so thankful for those who share.

I've used spray and fleece backing several times. I spray the batting though and pat onto the fleece, that way I don't distort the fleece. Works great for me. I've done the same with Minky and no problems. Only negative I've from the recipients is that the quilts with batting and fleece are very warm, too warm for some people.

I have often used 505 adhesive spray....the only one I've found to work for me....

QuiltE.....that "cow" quilt is so darn cute!!!! Bet the recipient loved it, huh?!

Oh yes ... it is much loved! :)

I had the teal cow fabric for sometime and could never figure out what to do with it, to still show off the print. That Christmas I needed a QUICK gift, and suddenly came up with the master plan! :) The white outline cows were just begging to be part of it. Of course, had to use a Churn Dash Block.

Size wise, I just "cow-culated" how large the Churn Dash could be, according to the fabric that I had. Then the added width was according to the width of the fleece.

The jumbo block was fun to do ... and made a quilt pretty darned fast!
