    Default - Basting A Quilt With Spray Starch

    Has anyone base their quilt this way? This would really be a lot cheaper. When I finish with my cooking I am going to try it with a table runner I'm working on.

    Definitely worth a try....much cheaper and less smelly!
    I have a girlfriend that uses liquid starch on ribbon, then presses that on her walls or kitchen cabinets or dorm room decor, whatever. The ribbon sticks as the starch dries, but when she is done with that look or needs to wash the ribbon, she just peels it off and any residue quickly washes off the wall or cabinet. I haven't tried it, but she does this all the time and it looks very neat!

    I'll try it. I saw someone use hair spray. I'll try and hunt that down. That would be flamable wouldn't it?


    Here it is. I don't think I trust it though.

    I wouldn't like to try hairspray either. The spray starch is probably worth a try

    Spray starch didn't work for me. I couldn't get it to stick.The lady in the video said hers held up to 6 hours. I may be using the wrong starch. The hair spray held good. I'll check it in the morning to see if it is still hanging in there/ It sure smell good.

    Thanks for testing! I can't wait to hear about the hair spray.

    Okay, just tried it. It worked!! I was using the cheap Faultess starch from Wal-Mart. However, 3 or 4 violent shakes did take it off. But, who really violently shakes their quilt after basting?
