    Default Fabric Spray?

    Is there a fabric spray that can be used to attach minky backing to a t-shirt top?

    It sort of depends on how permanent you want it. For costuming or articles that won't be washed a lot, I think you would be pretty good. I am mostly familiar with quilting sprays that dissipate. Not sure how well it would work if you are trying to permanently line the t-shirt.

    Just look for the term "permanent" instead of "temporary". Some of the adhesives are designed for different uses (like attaching trims/gems to fabric) and some may work better for what you want. Here a couple choices --

    Many brands -- Elmer's makes a spray and maybe regular glue will work too.

    You would need to check to see if it discolors/can be seen through the minkee, I would guess that most would show through the tshirt.

    I should have been clearer. I need a spray that will eventually wash out. It’s for a quilt.

    Tracy at The Sewing Channel on UTube does minky backings on a lot of her projects and also uses different techniques. Maybe worth snooping around to see if there are any you'd want to try. One of them might have been a spray. I don't remember for sure; I've been binge watching too much lately.
