    That is the starch I used and I couldn't get it to stick. Maybe I didn't put enough. This morning the hair spray wasn't holding. My room smelled so good when I pressed the runner. LOL

    I tried this 2 days ago on a tablerunner.... didn't work! I mean it stuck enough to machine baste the quilt but definitely not the way it showed in the tutorial. I was using 100% cotton fabric and warm and natural batting.

    I think the spray starch would definitely work for ONE BLOCK but the weight of a whole quilt???? I am not for sure that would work. Besides when I free motion, it might take me several days to quilt the whole thing and if it only holds for 6 hours or so, that wouldn't work for me. I think the difference between the starch and basting spray, is that the basting spray stays tacky and the spray starch does not have any tackiness to it.
