Spray Basting
#1
I just sprayed my queen size quilt....first time I have ever tried it...LOVED it...It is now ready for me to start quilting in the morning...if you have never tried spray basting I recommend it...I did do it on my kitchen floor and opened the sliding door for fresh air.

I think this would be too messy and inaccurate. There are a lot of glue sticks available for this purpose, but it sounds like Elmer's might work, too.

As for why... well, spray basting is easier - unbelieveably easier! If I had a good place to spray baste mine, (with good ventilation) I would hardly ever use any other method. :thumbup:

cotton remains a living fiber,,,,forever! unless it gets filled with caustic gums like the resins in bonded batting and basting spray!
If you are ever making an heirloom quality quilt, do NOT consider spray basting...instead, pay a long armer to baste the quilt for you...
