Love the basting spray. Use it exclusively all the time!!!! I have the fortunate opportunity of going over to my church and pushing together tables that I can set at a good height and use those for basting my quilts so I don't have to get down on the floor!!! I have taught my DH and my sons girlfriend how to baste and they have even basted several of my quilts all by themselves with me just supervising.

I use basting spray on poly batting all the time for embroidery. I spray the batting and stick it on the back of my hooped fabric. It stays on great during the whole embroidery process :wink:

I've used the products made for quilters for several years and really like the speed and results, and "no pins"! I had to laugh at the quilter with the overspray problem and cat hair! I think that would be the biggest difference between the quilter product and the "hardware store" variety though. The product for quilters is water soluable--meant to wash out of your fabrics, and consequently can be washed off other hard surfaces as well--like you tabletop or countertop. Wouldnt that be worth the difference in price?

if you use something with an alchol base it usually takes up the glue, and ther eis usually enough over hang on the batting it usually catches most of it, I some times have to go back and catch the corners etc. I make more of a mess when I am using it with the embroidery machine, I usually hang an old shopping bag or something to catch the worse of it.
