I despise hand sewing of any kind (hubby has to sew buttons on), and doing all the pinning to even lap quilts drove me crazier Nabbed 2 cans of June Taylor's Spray Basting, I am in LOVE! My sewing room is about 10x12 (forgot to open the window until after), but there was almost NO smell to this, I had to reposition the top and batting on the bottom once and it easily let me redo all that -- Will quilt this tomorrow and hope I still love this easier method :-) If you are bored, hubby heard me "spraying" and came in to take some photo's... Spray Basting 101 Next Small Section And so on until... ------ I have great enthusium for sewing, but lack talent to be great. 2013

If you don't have a fabric clue stick yet, you'll want one of those, too. Great for tacking together pesky pieces without pinning. Washes out with water.

I also love glue sticks, washable Elmer's glue, and Wonder tape. Yep, definitely a glue girl here too! ------ Bernina Artista 630 ✂ Bernina Aurora 430 ✂ Bernina 1300MDC ✂ Babylock BLCS ✂ APQS Millennium ✂ Juki TL2010Q ✂ Singer 201-2 ✂ Singer 301 ✂ Singer 401A ✂ Singer 15-91 ✂ Singer Featherweight 222K ✂ Singer Featherweight 221 www.tinkletimes.com

The June Taylor's spray did hold up pretty well despite all the shoving to get this under my machine throat. I think I could have sprayed more. I really wrestled this thing around so I won't be so stingy next one. Ah ha! Ok I'll get the 505, J's didn't have it ohhh and a glue stick -- Thank a ton!! The back looks pretty nice, but I fought the front trying to push up the fabric in a couple places. Went to look why that was happening, and found a you-tube explaining to change the Pressure Foot Pressure!!! So to my manual and it shows where to change it -- Gee when all else fails, READ the manual hahaha Thanks, this was mostly pre-cuts except I had to add the bright red columns to get it larger for my Dad. He's in his late 80s and still likes to bowl! It won't be perfect, but this is my largest so far. I keep learning how to do better things each time. Very exciting, I am so hooked now ------ I have great enthusium for sewing, but lack talent to be great. 2013

I tried it when doing machine embroidery and Asthma said no very loudly. So stuck with safety pins. ------ quiltingwolf.blogspot.com

I was thinking about it for the gift quilt I am making, the fleece back is a pain because it stretches. My biggest concern is overspray. I don't want to have to go through a whole bunch of work covering the floor, then dealing with a sticky mess afterwards. At least going through a whole bunch of work to pin baste is familiar and predictable. I guess I need to just go ahead and use it once, then I'll know. I hate gooey sticky stuff, the glue sticks make me crazy if I have to remove the glued pieces (like when I used it to hold down stabilizer, then removed the excess stabilizer afterwards). I do use them for diaper making, pins in PUL make it less waterproof. ------ Cathryn
