As was mentioned above, I have not used this method on a large project , only on my 18 inch blocks for my current QAYG project. All 25 blocks stood up to quilting without anything shifting and came out beautifully crisp and flat.

As someone else mentioned, even if you only used this method for smaller projects, think of the basting spray that saves you to use on your larger ones. Every little bit saved adds up , and being on a fixed income , I love knowing I can save in one area to give me more to use in another !

What is your ratio of elmers to water in your mix? I tried my mixture in a spritz bottle and could only manage to get a steady stream rather than the wide spray that I wanted. (Yes, the nozzle was turned to spray!!)

Thanks sewwwwww much! I just emptied my 505 spray can and was thinking about the possibility of a more reasonably priced basting tool. I will be trying this this weekend! Thanks again!

Holy cow!!!! Does it work on large quilts or do you recommend just qayg blocks? Awesome!!

The only spray bottle I have found that even likes the elmers / water mix without a stream is the Misto bottle, It acts like an aerosol can, only without the chemicals. As for the ratio, I use the marks on a bottled water bottle so I am not sure exactly but honestly it has to be somewhere around 1 part glue 4 parts water. The Misto bottle really makes it coat evenly and a little glue goes a long way. I HATE regular spray bottles they are way too messy for me,

I have not used it myself on a large project yet, but I always machine baste any project as well even when I use 505 or Elmer's . I like added security LOL.
