Basting Spray

[sunnyQLDmum]

I spray the batting. I find I get a smoother finish this way. I don't use much and a can lasts a very long time. Never had a problem with it washing out. I use my polished floors to spray on and find clean up really easy

Lot of great information in this thread - just wish I had seen it a few days ago or asked myself.

I spray the batting. I am totally sold on spray basting. It works great!

I spray baste on the wall using Patsy Thompson's method. Here's a video explaining it:

I'm a a bit old fashioned and will stick with PINS.. (lol, pun intended) I can't use alot of spray stuff with my health. Lots of allergies and don't want to develope more.

My Quilting friend who does use spray says it works best on smaller items.. "not the Big A$$ quilts" that I do. I guess I scrunch and shove too much and work the spray holding power right out .. nothing could hold up to MY product testing...sewing except pins.

I have used it a bit, I am still experimenting with each project. I am working on some dresden plate things and spray basted the first ever plate onto the background, sandwiched the block and quilted it with a blanket stitch ending up with a hot pot mat.
It worked great and I am going to repeat that process with the placemats I am making. When I am done I will post a picture, didn't take a picture of the first one. It turned out so well I already gave it to my future DIL at her shower on Sunday.

On the rare occasions I use basting spray, I put it on the batting. I bought a machine quilting class on Craftsy and that's also what the instructor recommends....then after she smooths the fabric on bot side of the batting she gives it a press! I'm going to try this the next time I make a tablerunner.
