what kind of basting spray do you use?

I don't have any problem making adjustments. I just lift and spread it back out, smoothing from the center out. Maybe it depends on how much you spray. I don't cover the entire batting, I spray in a grid - probably about 6" apart and all the way around the edge.

Just be sure you are using "basting" spray, not other adhesives.

Most of the time I use the June Tailor brand. I like it better than Dritz. Haven't tried the 505...I'd rather spend the extra money on fabric since I don't mind the June Tailor brand. :)

All right,you all have talked me in to trying basting spray. I have used hand basting and safety pins and was getting ready to try water soluble thread, but I think I will try the spray now.

I'm going to try basting spray now. You all make it sound like it will work just fine. Here's hoping!

I also us the water soluable thread when I'm doing a large quilt, especially if there's a lot of bias - like the French Braid in my avatar - it came out great! I use this along with the basting spray.

I use "gasp" I know, Aqua Net hairspray. Works very well for me has the same ingredients in it as the basting sprays and,is cheaper and the fact that I live in a very tiny mtn town I cannot get basting spray but can get the hairspray, Aqua Net.yes I made a sample,held well,sewed well and did not affect the fabric.
