    I use the spray basting here and there.... usually use a pair or tweezer to hold smaller pieces amd spray intoa designated box surround. I have yet to get the "spray off my tweezers.... I have tried soap and water, I have tried 409 , goo be gone,I have even tried acitone... those tweezer are just shot now.... I am very careful what I use the spray basting on, but to if it wont even clean off of stainless steel why would it wash out of fabric..... If I have to glue something, I use elmers.

    This is a great idea! do you hang it all first spray and smooth down...or hang one layer at a time and spray.

    It washes out. Of course, I'm sure my Tide and Dreft have petroleum of sort in them too. Whatever will we do? Can't win them all

    Check out the recent thread about making your own "soap" for washing clothes/quilts. No petroleum products there. They also sell a lot of very environmentally friendly products for washing clothes at grocery stores now.

    I do a lot of photography and this happens with any spray adhesive ... get some Goo Be Gone and it should bring the bumpy stuff off NO problem :)

    Ohhh, thanks for the tip. I think the ex left some of that in the garage.

    Be sure to use your walking foot I spray basted my moms queen size and got to the end of inside border and had a big pucker took me 8 hours to rip out decorative stitches because thread matched so closely it was hard to see .I had forgot to put my walking foot on but I pinned just to make sure it wouldn't happen again .It worked fine on my smaller quilts and I liked it but big quilts I will use my basting pins.Good luck and have fun.

    I tried spraying one time and on a double wedding quilt I made. I sure hope it washed out and that it wouldn't ruin over time, since I worked really a long time to do a good job. Thanks for the heads up on the spray basting. It didn't work well for me on the dwq and ended up throwing the batting out and starting over and pin basting it.

    I mostly pin baste, but I love that I can spray baste in situations where a bit of a hurry is needed. Of course, I want people to cuddle my quilts. I want them to get washed over and over and snuggled around tiny babies. I don't want them to sit in a museum or still be perfectly preserved generations from now ;)

    Usually I hang the top and backing on the clothline at
    the same time if there is enough room. I have only used
    spray basting on small to mid size projects, never a full
    sized quilt. What is 505???
