Does the June Taylor spray basting still have a strong order. I have been using Dritz quilt spray basting as it does not have hardly any smell at all. I think the June Taylor is cheaper and is a larger can/.

The one I buy at Walmart has an odor. I have to use it in a well ventilated area.

I like it too.

I used it in a well ventilated room....overhead fan and window fan pulling out the fumes so I didn't notice anything

OMG.....it is so much easier and faster.....I spray basted a lap size quilt in about 15 minutes.....used an old sheet on the bed to catch any overspray....and made sure there was plenty of ventilation.....the biggest tip I can give you is don't use too much, a little goes a long way!

Thank you. I've wondered about trying it. You've encouraged me.

That is very encouraging Buckeye Rose! My first attempt at spray basting was not so good too. But, my problem, I think, was too little spray. My quilt has alot of little pleats and bunches on the back. I can only think it was from being too loose. Well, that and I am really not good at it at all. But I keep trying!
So, thanks for the info I am really anxious to try again. Getting close to needing to layer the baby quilt I'm working on. Don't feel so stressed about it now!

I agree with you too!!!

I started using this because it was quite a bit cheaper than what you get at a quilting store; local or chain. I used the 505 a couple of weeks ago and it didn't seem to hold as well but I was told I may not have put enough on it. I will try again but I used the same amount as the June Tailor so even the amount needed makes it cheaper to use.
