My sister was making something other then a quilt. She called me and asked me what to do with fleece that keeps
stretching while sewing , She was using this for a backing for some Chaps she was making for her son.

Any way I told her to go and buy spray Glue. She went to wall mart and saw the price of spary glue... (now this is my sister knowing alot about cars.) She called me back, and said to went to the automotive store and bought what they call glue spray for the inside of your care overhead liner. (This is for the inside of your car when the top of your ceiling comes down and hits you in the head)
It is the same as glue spray for 1/4 of the price. I think she
said she paid $3.00- $4.00 for a large can.
I told her I would pass this on. same product for 1/4 of the cost.

Thanks

I will keep this in mind, if I ever need spray glue. What would you use it for exactly?

Yikes!!! Most likely *not* the same product used for quilts! Basting spray used in quilts is water-soluble; I doubt that car glue is. It might work well for your sister's application, but I would not want permanent glue in any of the quilts I make -- especially with the outgassing that can occur.

But does it wash out?

cool!

Will it gum up our needles? Hum-m-m.

Please keep us posted about the gumming up of her needles (or not)& if the can says water soluable so we'd know if it's easy to clean up. This could be a great savings for us if all is good with that spray!!!!

i'd be afraid of gumming up the machine. but thanks for the tip

I go to the paint or hardware department in Walmart and get my really cheap when I need it at least half the price of the spray glue in the fabric department

Thank you.

I too would wonder about it being the "same".

Water soluble?
Long term effects to the fabric? batting?

Sure would be nice to find a lower cost alternative.
.... and if you think yours is expensive, check the price here in Canada!

My question to. Will it wash out? I know most liner in cars are held up with a very strong glue and I cannot believe that it is meant to wash out. It might be okay to buy a can and experiment with a sandwich of scraps before using it on a quilt. I think I would.

What a great tip. Thank you for sharing.

There is a difference in spray glue and basting spray used for quilting.
I have used spray glue made by Elmers to hold flannel to the foam core that is on my design wall but it is not the same as the spray "glue" that I use for my quilts. It is made by Sullivans but I also use the ones made by Sulky as well.
Hope your sister has good luck with her project.

I would be afraid that wouldn't wash out.

I never thought of that... you may be right. This will be a good thing to check out. I will have my sister get her can and spay and check out the ingreidents. and check other things like water-soluble.

Also, spray glue for quilts is re-positionable. I think this would stick and be there for good.

I would want it to wash out also.

I just called my sister... This has nothing on the can about water soluble.. she is going to spray some fabric
let it dry, then hand was it to see if the glue washes away

Her needles did not gum up.

My machine cost too much to try something like that. Thanks for info, but think I will pass.

I just bought Dritz Basting spray Temporary Adhesive for Sewing, Quilting, Embroidery & Appplique. Any suggestions? I have not put the 3 layers together ever and a 'You-tube' quilter suggested a temp spray. I about fainted when I priced the 505 mentioned on the video. Any comments/suggestions,please. I have not used it and if not acceptable, I can return it,Thank you goonberrie

I've never seen/heard of Dritz.

I prefer the 505 over June Tailor.

I have used the Dritz and it worked fine. It has more odor than the 505 and I am not sure how long it holds for. 505 will hold the quilt sandwich together for a long time.

I use the Elmers glue spray bought it at hobby lobby for about 5.00 I also found some spray at the fabric/ craft department at Wal-Mart for about the same price. Both seam to work fine.

I have used kk5000 quilting spray for years and no problems with the gumming up the machine or anything. I love it, it helps those slippery places that are hard to hold. The secret is not to overdo, as in anything, just light spray. I always use it on the backing/batting of my quilting to hold it in place while I'm basing the top in place, works great and washes out, does not affect the batting.

Hope this helps.

I too use the Elmers spray glue in the craft section of WalMart. It is washable and non temporary if used as directed.

Yep and much cheaper!

I have used Dritz basting spray and I love it. Sure beats all that pinning. A 6.2 oz. can goes a long way. It has done 2 twin size, 2 crib and 6 place mats so far, but I think it is about empty. And the hold will last for several weeks of folding and unfolding. Cleans up with water. Can you tell, I am sold on it. Janet

:thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: thank you

I love your avatar!

it not the same , I have used it for the right porpuse and it sticks to averything and gettse hard

Thanks.

Can you lift your fabric up and put back down to reposition with the elmers like you can with 505 and others.

I don't think I'll try it!I really don't want to mess up machine,I would think it's totallt different stuff plus I do also og kids quilts I;d be affaid of them breathing it!!But thanks for the idea!!!

my hubby restores cars... he says the two products are NOT the same. The one for car liners is permanent.

Yeah I checked with my brother who also restores cars plus another friend and they pretty much said same thingDO NOT use!!!!

I was kind of figuring someone would know someone who works with cars to give us the answer. I know the 505 spray is expensive, but it really only requires a light misting and goes a long way so one can lasts quite awhile. Someone recently posted a link (or I came across it on a blog) that showed the results of a real analysis of three spray basting products and the results on the fabric over the long-term. The conclusion was that the 505 was the spray that showed the best long-term results (as far as not harming, discoloring, or otherwise damaging you fabric). As much as we invest in the fabric, batting, thread and our sewing machines, I think we would be wise to make sure we know what products, like basting spray, might do to them over the long term. I will post that blog or link if I can find it again.

Warning: Spray GLUE is NOT the same as quilt basting spray ! Basting sprays MADE for quilts are water-soluble, they come out when the quilt is washed. Spray glue made for other use is going to be permanent :(

I love shortcuts and tips, but I've learned that doing certain things could void warranties on newer machines.

Thank you for posting this, but for now.. I'll stick to the spray basting glue that my LQS carries. I'm too chicken...lol

my question is how does she know it is 100% the same; will it come out when washed. Just like there are glues made for fabic but it doesn't come out unless washed right away and can get hard and leave marks. I buy the spray at Walmarts because it does just as good as 505 but is alot cheaper. I'm not so sure about the one for cars. I'd hate to ruin anything that I made because it didn't come out.
