Thank you. I guess the best way to eat an elephant is one bite at a time!

I would really love to see you basting a larger quilt, like perhaps a queen size. 😃

So excited to try this. I followed a recipe a fellow quilter gave me and it was a didn't work well. I see now it didn't have enough water and I cooked on low for an hour and a half!! I'm not giving up. Thanks for providing the recipe and the tip to put large quilts out on a tablecloth overnight. My quilt is big.

Ive used this loads of times. Even for a king sized quilt. It works great. I let it airdry over night each side.

I use blue tape to lightly tauntly tape my backing to the floor. Did you just lay your backing on the floor?

I made this spray, it's the BOM! I had a hard time seeing where I had sprayed, so I put a little food coloring in it and that help. Just a suggestion.

Wouldn’t the food coloring stain the fabric?

Really miss using your basting spray.

What is the shelf life for this spray? And how do you store it?

I would LOVE to see a full sized quilt done. I can totally do a small size, but, the larger quilts...🙁

Similar process but you need to spread it out on a large area, as I mentioned in the video. I don't have an area big enough inside the house to show this now and, because it's winter, can't do it outside, but I'll add it to my list for next summer.

I use a quilt as you go method, without sashing, to break up my full and Queen sized quilts in two, 3 or 4 portions. I quilt sections on my small machine then join the parts together once the sandwiches are quilted, it’s not so terrible adding the binding at this point because you’re only working on the edge.

With a larger quilt that you can't easily iron, instead of waiting for it to dry overnight you most likely could use a blow dryer to speed up the drying process. Just a thought.

Great idea! I hadn't thought of that one.

I have a king size quilt I am nearly finished with piecing. I'm thinking about the best way to baste it for quilting. What do you recommend?

@Chatterboxquilts 4 жыл бұрын

With a quilt that large, you'll need to do it in sections, probably on the floor or a large flat surface. I like to follow the same procedure as I would do for a small project, just doing it a bit at a time, pulling back the layers, spraying and pressing back down. It will just take a little longer.

Is there any way you could apply this mixture to a large quilt with a paintbrush or paint roller? I’m wondering if it would make the process quicker and be as effective.

@Chatterboxquilts 2 жыл бұрын

I've never tried that but if you do, please let me know how it works out.

I was wondering if you have tried to use this basting spray with polyester batting instead of the cotton or cotton blend batting?

@Chatterboxquilts 3 жыл бұрын

I haven't yet so I'm not sure how it would work. I would suggest trying on a small corner of a quilt sandwich and see how it works before doing an entire quilt.

Would this spray work if using a Cuddle or Minky (polyester) fabric for the quilt backing?

@Chatterboxquilts 2 жыл бұрын

I'm not sure about using it on this type of fabric as I haven't tried it. I know that it works best on cotton or natural fibers. I would suggest that you try a small piece and see how it works.

Do you always have to use batting with quilting, I’m a beginner

@Chatterboxquilts Жыл бұрын

The simple answer is yes. Sometimes, if you are making a quilt that has all flannel on the top and on the backing, you might not need batting in between but for beginners, yes, use batting.

What spray baste would you recommend for wool batting

@Chatterboxquilts Жыл бұрын

I use my own Multi-Purpose Quilt Spray to baste all my quilts and this would also work for wool batting. You can get the recipe at www.chatterboxquilts.com/multipurpose-quilt-spray-freebie. I have several KZfaq videos on how I use this product for other purposes than quilt basting as well.

Kim, I tried it and did not care for it. Made quilt wet (unlike 505) and when dry it was too stiff feeling. I'll stay with 505.

@Chatterboxquilts 4 жыл бұрын

Yes, it is wet and does make the quilt a bit stiff - which is actually really helpful for quilting and, of course, I always tell those using this spray to wash it out of their project when it is done. I don't like using 505 or other similar sprays due to the price and the chemicals used in it - not healthy for you.

I lay my quilts out on a wood floor, not having a huge table available. Do I need to tape the batting to the floor as usual? What about damage to the floor because the product is wet? Any ideas for me?

@Chatterboxquilts 2 жыл бұрын

I don't tape the backing or batting to anything. I just smooth the layers out as I spray baste. I would lay a flannel-backed vinyl tablecloth on top of the wood floor to protect it for sure.

Thanks for your response and the tablecloth idea. I made some today and tried it on a large sample piece. After laying out for a few hours it was nearly dry. This is going to be a game-changer. Thanks so much!
