You can most definitely spray baste all three layers of a quilt of any size without any pins, and it is just wonderful. Very time saving. For those of you who find 505 expensive, my bet is that you are using more than you need. one can will do a queen and several small quilts, or possibly 2 queens. Control "overspray" by spraying from the edges toward the middle and walk very quickly around your quilt.

I only use 505 because that's all I can find here. I ONCE used another kind of spray glue, turns out it was not water soluable and it totally ruined my quilt!
I know you can get bigger cans of 505, but the only ones I can get are the small ones and they're 16 bucks.

since she's embroidering, I'm guessing that it's something that she can't hoop, like a towel. I tried to hoop the fusible stabilizer then press the towel to it (like the instruction said) and it did not stay stuck so i haven't been able to do towels. I'd like to know more about how it's done myself.

I put my stabilizer in my hoop. Then I made a template that is bigger than the hoop and with the center cut out to match the embroidery area. Then when I spray the stabilizer it only goes on the stabilizer and off of the hoop itself.
I have found that some of the paper type stabilizers don't get very sticky from basting spray. I spray...wait a few minutes and then spray a second or third time before it gets sticky enough to hold the fabric down.
Another thing that works is double sided sticky wonder under. Put it on the back side of your applique fabric, cut it out, remove the paper and stick it on the hooped fabric. No ironing is needed :wink:
