Because of the overspray I usually lightly spray the entire quilt and then throw in some pins. Just playing it safe. ALWAYS use in a well ventilated space--you don't want to breathe in the glue fumes.

Started out thread basting, then went to pin basting and now only spray baste. Its fast, it stays and although it costs a bit to do it, makes the machine quilting a lot easier. I still pin baste when I hand quilt something.

The only thing I have heard about spray basting is not to use it on heirloom quilts. Overtime it will cause certain light colors to turn a dark brown. Enjoy.

I never thought I would spray baste, but the last 2 quilts I've done used spray. Love it! Machine quilting is so much easier.
|
i use pins with the basting , just for peace of mind .

i usually get 4-5 queen size out of 1 can , how about the rest of you guys , am i too stingy or use to much ?
|
I spray and pin becaue I want to make sure it stays where I put it. It's probably not necessary, but I don't want to take any chances. I don't spray heavily, just enough to hold it in place while I pin.

My husband spray bastes for me and then we reinforce witsh safety pins. No problems.

I just went to a class yesterday on machine quilting and the teachers both use Sullivan or June Taylor spray basting and swear by it.
