DON'T YOU JUST LOVE IT.TRY ON YOUR SMALLER WALL HANGINGS...WORKS LIFE A WHOLE LOT EASIER WHEN MACHINE QUILTING.
WE SET UP A LARGE BOARD IN THE GARAGE ON SAW HORSES, GARBAGE CANS OR WHATEVER......AND SPRAY AWAY. I SOMETIMES COLLECT A FEW AND HOLD THEM TO DO ALL AT THE SAME TIME.....SAVES TIME SETTING UP. HAPPY SPRAYING...MJ |
Ok...I am going to tell my story. I already said that I spray basted a quilt yesterday and thought it was great. The only problem I had was that I too had oversprayed...onto the excess batting. That would not have really mattered if I had not knelt on it to add a few pins. When I went to stand up my jeans were basted. The result was very fuzzy white knees.
All in all it was good. The quilt was easier to baste, the fuzz came off my jeans and my new manicure wasn't really ruined. :oops: |
Just a thought. Read this on another site and it works!
Aqua Net! Much less expensive and didn't gunk up my needle. I wash my quilts when I am finished and it worked beautifully. |
Glad you had success with the basting spray. :lol:
I think we had a discussion about hair spray earlieron another thread and it was strongly suggested NOT to use it! :? |
WOW, using the driveway was a great idea!

I've never spray basted, but after reading this I'm going to try it on the quilt in currently working on....should be ready to baste in a couple of days :) Thanks for all these great ideas/tips.

Hi Lori, I recommend spraying.....it's really quite easy. Just follow the directions on the can and you shouldn't have any trouble. I have purchased mine in both Joann's and in Walmart's......both worked just fine. mj

Sewforless.com has what's called 505 adhesive spray on sale, 50% off if you buy 12 right now. Breaks down to 11.99 a can. I put it in my basket, but couldn't decide if it was worth it. I really want to use it, but is this a good price?
