    Yes. I use it frequently for charity quilts I make. It's a good idea to do it in a well ventilated area though.

    I agree with Prism 99, I would be very wary of your old can of spray. I tried to use an old one once and had nasty black stuff come out. I do it her way too, but I use a spray called 101 and it works great. Love using spray instead of pins. My fingers peel so badly that it's hard for me to use safety pins. I can use our big tables at school, and I have large clamps that I hold it all together with to be sure there are no wrinkles anywhere.

I appreciate any suggestions.

    I use www. junetailor.com spray,
    you won't go back to pins, ever. love it

    I live in Lompoc. No quilting stores here. I quilt/fabric shop in Santa Maria, SLO area and Goleta. I was happy to find a new quilt store in Goleta this weekend, couldn't stay too long, hubby was in car.

    Yes, I spray baste with 505. I still pin around the edges just as extra assurance that it will stay in place.

    I had a can of the June tailor baste spray, did not like it . You have to use it outside. ( who takes their quilts outside to baste?especially in a cold climate area in the winter!) It did not "age" well, it lost its tackiness over time ( guess I should have used it up quickly). I thought after this whats all the fuss about , why is everyone so happy and I am dissapointed.... then I discovered the 505 and Dritz temp spray... WOW ! LOVE It !! It was truley a life changing find. No odor , it holds well, does not gum up the needle. I even use it on my templates to keep them from sliding around . Just a touch to give it a bit of tackiness.
    It is a bit pricey ... but sooo.. worth it. I hated the pinning process, and it seemed more came out before they were supposed to, plus I would always seem to get "stuck" with a few either from having them fall on the floor or as I was manipulating the pin basted quilt.

    DO NOT USE THAT OLD CAN! Some of that older stuff is powerful strong! I was teaching a class, and using the basting spray. Suddenly the whole class got a little goofy. I attributed it to my sparkling sense of humor. LOL. Turns out it was the fumes from the basting spray. It WAS one of the most fun classes I've taught, but probably not the safest.

    I have never had a problem with 505. You have already put a ton of work into your quilt top; I wouldn't take a chance on having trouble with quilting it because of using an old can of spray. I suggest you buy a new can of 505.

    Using June Taylor or Sullivans (blue or pink can) is what my machine quilting teachers swear by - They do beautiful work and spray basting i their preferred method.
