Good advice. I haven't tried it yet but will soon.
I love your quote on the bottom about the earrings. I will use that one over and over. What a riot!!!!

Just curious on how you handle the overspray on the table? I tried spray basting once on my kitchen floor, thought I had spread enough newspapers around, didn't, and had a time getting it up. I'm willing to try again though.
I purchased a canvas drop cloth at Lowes the other day. I plan to spread it out and do my spraying on top of that. Depending on the size you buy, they are $6-$9.

I have an old pool table I use. I use to pin my quilt and just now started using spray basting. I have to do this in sections for my large quilts but it work out better then pin basting I would always have a problem the I moved to the next section after pin the first section.

Each time I spray, I lift the edge of the sheet to catch the overspray. I do use a light application which holds well and clean up is throwing the sheet in the washer. It is so simple and works so well for me.
That is exactly what I do as well. I also put a sheet on my floor (hardwood) which I can then throw in the washer. It works out perfectly for me. I wouldn't do it any other way now. Be sure you don't OVER spray. It doesn't take much.

Here's a good video by Patsy Thompson that I found on You Tube addressing spray basting: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nwV8tUkhxUM

Thanks for the great tip!

My DD & I must be the only quilters in the world that don't like this product. We had high hopes - had read so much good about it, but even the both of us could not get the blasted quilt layered with no wrinkles. It would have been faster to hand baste it, as I've been doing for years. We are hand quilters & DD said she thought it made it harder to quilt, based on her experience quilting the matching pillow sham which hadn't been sprayed. I also have COPD & with all the prep for overspray, the masks needed, etc, it was more trouble than it's worth to us

Good ventilation is critical during spray basting. Outdoors is really good or a well ventilated area. I sure don't want to breathe that stuff!
