I use to pin but the spray is so much easier if you're going to quilt it yourself. The pins drove me crazy when I put them in and while I was quilting. The 505 spray is more expensive and a smaller can than the brand I get at WalMart. It depends on the size of you quilt as to how many you can do with one can. I uses almost the whole can of 505 on a twin size quilt.

There are several kinds of spray adhesive. Temporary and permanent. I have only used sulky temporary and I am very satisfied with it. I used it on my bow tuck tote. worked great for that. And I did not use pins. I did make a mistake :oops: and have to take the batting of the fabric and respray work like a charm. :thumbup:

I do not use pins when I spray baste. Sometimes I may have to do a quick re-spray on the corners if it has sat a while.

When you spray baste and even all the layers were smoothed very well and you still find some small amount of wrinkles on the back....how do you then get the wrinkles smooth.

I just gently smooth them out with my hand. If I have not started sewing and discover them, with the 505 you can lift up the backing and smooth it out again.
I always use the 505

Thank you ALL!!!!! I knew I would get some great answers!!

I use 505 spray as well, it doesn't smell. I find cheaper brands tend to have a strong smell to them. When doing a large quilt I do pin every 8 inches or so, but it's likely not necessary and I just can't stop the habit of doing it!

Since I joined this board I have started spray basting. I love it.

What is the $7 from Wal Mart called?

I just spray with 505;
