best spray adhesive

please give me your input on the best spray adhesive to use when basting quilts
thanks

I have only used Sullivan's and have been real happy with it.

Hi

I have only tried one kinde. 505 basting spray and all i can say is that i can´t live without it.

505...hands down I think it's the best there is.

I also vote for 505 Spray and Fix. I have just purchased some Hobbs Fusible cotton batting though and am anxious to try it out on a future project.

I use 505 as well.

Linda, let me know how the fusible batting does. I was looking for some at the store and all they had was polyester and I'm not using that.

I have only used Dritz (because that's all they had in Joanns). After 9 quilts there is a little left in 1 can, and I've got 2. I tend to overspray and need to remind myself not to do this! I love spray basting and hope whatever you pick, work great for you. I've read great posts about the 505!

What ever you pick please remember to open a window, or Better - go outdoors and spray this. While they tend to not have horrible smells, they are an aersol (sorry about my spelling) and with my allergies I've noticed it's best used outdoors.

Yes Linda, I nabbed some on sale but haven't used it yet either. Looking forward to hearing how you like it, how it works!

I have used Spray n Baste for my embroidery machine for 4 yrs. I just started quilting and use it for that as well. It is $14.99 a can at JoAnn's and I never buy it without a 40 or 50% coupon. I never have any problems with it and love it.

I agree, 505 is what I use too!

I use the 505 too but it comes out of the can wierd. I shake it an it comes out spitting and web like. Not a fine spray. It's a new can too.

I stand with 505 and it is not stinky.

I just used spray basting for the very first time and loved it, happened to be Dritz and got it at Walmart.

Mar

505 here as well.

However, as an aside, I still assist my spray basting with pins for larger projects. I don't know if it's needed, but it makes me feel better about the security of my project.

I've always used 505 with good results but can't get it locally so just bought my first can of Dritz at Walmart. Haven't tried it yet. Hope I like it as much as 505 cause it is much easier to get.

I agree...505 is the best.

I took an online FMQing class and the teacher made her sandwich using the spray and then she pressed the front and the back and she got the best looking results! I am going to try that next time.

I use 505 spray also.............wonderful stuff!

I use fusible batting with the totes that I make it makes the fabric a lot stiffer I think, for spray basting I use 505

I've used Dritz and 505 and I actually like the Dritz the best. It seems to hold better and it's easier to place the fabric and smooth out the wrinkles.

I baste and then add some pins for good measure, as well. I like the basting spray, but don't trust it not to come loose when I'm cramming my quilt in that little throat space on my machine.

I was hoping someone would say that. I was a little worried about switching brands but Dritz is all I can get locally.

She pressed after she sprayed? That's interesting.

I've only used the 505 and I haven't had any problems. This must be the same class I took and I have ironed some of my projects and it works really well....smooth.

Used 505 the other day and it worked good but I thought the top was too puffy. Next time I will press as Bubby suggested.

How well does it wash out after it's been ironed?
I have a quilt sandwiched with the fusible poly batting & it claims it will soften up once washed. Seeing as it's still a sandwich I can't say if their claim is correct. I hope it does as it's not to snuggly at the moment. (The whole project is an experiment, so if it fails, the dog has a new blankie.)
After dealing with the pins on this last quilt I'm thinking the spray is the way to go. This has been an interesting thread to follow.
