What I Learned About Spray Basting
#32
I purchased a canvas drop cloth at Lowes the other day. I plan to spread it out and do my spraying on top of that. Depending on the size you buy, they are $6-$9.

I have an old pool table I use. I use to pin my quilt and just now started using spray basting. I have to do this in sections for my large quilts but it work out better then pin basting I would always have a problem the I moved to the next section after pin the first section.

I use spray basting but do it on my design wall. I put up an old sheet with big saftey pins first and pin up the the back of the quilt, spray, add batting stretched and pinned and finally spray and pin the top on. Each time I spray, I lift the edge of the sheet to catch the overspray. I do use a light application which holds well and clean up is throwing the sheet in the washer. It is so simple and works so well for me.

Here's a good video by Patsy Thompson that I found on You Tube addressing spray basting: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nwV8tUkhxUM

My DD & I must be the only quilters in the world that don't like this product. We had high hopes - had read so much good about it, but even the both of us could not get the blasted quilt layered with no wrinkles. It would have been faster to hand baste it, as I've been doing for years. We are hand quilters & DD said she thought it made it harder to quilt, based on her experience quilting the matching pillow sham which hadn't been sprayed. I also have COPD & with all the prep for overspray, the masks needed, etc, it was more trouble than it's worth to us
