I too would wonder about it being the "same".

Water soluble?
Long term effects to the fabric? batting?

Sure would be nice to find a lower cost alternative.
.... and if you think yours is expensive, check the price here in Canada!

My question to. Will it wash out? I know most liner in cars are held up with a very strong glue and I cannot believe that it is meant to wash out. It might be okay to buy a can and experiment with a sandwich of scraps before using it on a quilt. I think I would.

There is a difference in spray glue and basting spray used for quilting.
I have used spray glue made by Elmers to hold flannel to the foam core that is on my design wall but it is not the same as the spray "glue" that I use for my quilts. It is made by Sullivans but I also use the ones made by Sulky as well.
Hope your sister has good luck with her project.

I would be afraid that wouldn't wash out.

I never thought of that... you may be right. This will be a good thing to check out. I will have my sister get her can and spay and check out the ingreidents. and check other things like water-soluble.

Also, spray glue for quilts is re-positionable. I think this would stick and be there for good.

I would want it to wash out also.

I just called my sister... This has nothing on the can about water soluble.. she is going to spray some fabric
let it dry, then hand was it to see if the glue washes away

Her needles did not gum up.
