I pieced it together 2 weeks ago at a one day sewing retreat. It took me two days to do the FMQ. My FMQ is getting a little bit better. And I used only fabric from my stash. (I am on a fabric fast. It was a close thing as I didn't have exactly the colors I wanted but I stuck to my fast rules so bouns points for me . I used 505 spray to baste the layers together. Anyone know is there are going to be problems using this stuff? I will wash it before I send it off. It did stay together w/o puckering on the back side. -- Edited on 2/1/13 10:32 AM -- ------ Ada

I do not use spray just because it is a chemical but don't really know what all the implications of the sprays are. I use use basting pins for small items like runners and the Microstitch gun for larger items like quilts. ------ Elna Excellence 740, Pfaff Quilt expression 4.0, Janome 300E, Brother 8500D, Janome 900CPX CoverPro, Brother 5234 Project Runway Serger, Singer Treadle http://juliannasjourney.blogspot.com/

I've used the 505 spray and my cats have no problems lying on the quilts..either washed or unwashed. I do realize that they are not the same as a baby, but their smell sense is supposed to be better than humans ------ 2009-113.25 yds 2010-115.5 2011-80.25+30+donated 2012 86.3 yds.. 2013 21.0 Everyone who sews seriously has a stockpile of fabrics, because it is natural to purchase more than can be sewn in any one season" Singer, Timesaving Sewing, 1987
