Unless you are using a needle-punched wool batt that is dense, I'd give the spray basting a miss this time and pin or thread baste. Good luck.Sharon Siaccihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03064160980129777184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6876943005305984410.post-88694742369708993992014-04-20T11:24:57.287+10:002014-04-20T11:24:57.287+10:00I never used wool batting and I got good results o...I never used wool batting and I got good results only with small quilts. For bed size quilts I baste them, pins haven'tt worked for me either.Ivanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10282620098636465052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6876943005305984410.post-53437371369129053012014-04-19T11:16:00.596+10:002014-04-19T11:16:00.596+10:00I haven't had that problem, but I haven't ...I haven't had that problem, but I haven't used wool batting. I've either used the poly- stuff, or the 80/20. Maybe the wool just doesn't take to it.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07788050553764300232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6876943005305984410.post-52249512303283564462014-04-18T21:35:15.635+10:002014-04-18T21:35:15.635+10:00What a disappointing result this is.

I just this morning bought two more packets of curved pins ready for my large projects in the quilting queue.<br />In the light of the comment above the obvious difference is the wadding material, but there could be other differences. I'm interested to see how this discussion develops.Marlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13395982229464502358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6876943005305984410.post-54720314859398714972014-04-18T20:32:55.527+10:002014-04-18T20:32:55.527+10:00I have used basting spray quite successfully.

I use the kitchen island bench but you could use a table. I prepare the fabric then the batting and then the fabric. Then I fold top layer of the fabric back about half way. I spray a line and smooth a bit of fabric down. Then I spray again and smooth the next section. etc. I flip the entire thing over and repeat the process. I never spray the entire piece in one attempt. Bit by bit. I smooth and smooth as I go. If there is a wonky section I rip the layer back to that part and redo it. I find that the edges of the kitchen bench help me with getting it all smooth and wrinkle-free. I admit I do not use wool batting, but bamboo. This has worked for big and small quilts. There is a bit of floor wiping and bench wiping afterwards as I clean away over-spray. I am not a good quilter but the results using this method have certainly made me look better.MLM247https://www.blogger.com/profile/06365562372896637044noreply@blogger.com
