I use to pin but the spray is so much easier if you're going to quilt it yourself. The pins drove me crazy when I put them in and while I was quilting. The 505 spray is more expensive and a smaller can than the brand I get at WalMart. It depends on the size of you quilt as to how many you can do with one can. I uses almost the whole can of 505 on a twin size quilt.

There are several kinds of spray adhesive. Temporary and permanent. I have only used sulky temporary and I am very satisfied with it. I used it on my bow tuck tote. worked great for that. And I did not use pins. I did make a mistake :oops: and have to take the batting of the fabric and respray work like a charm. :thumbup:

I use 505 spray as well, it doesn't smell. I find cheaper brands tend to have a strong smell to them. When doing a large quilt I do pin every 8 inches or so, but it's likely not necessary and I just can't stop the habit of doing it!
