It is called Perfect Baste, a temporary fabric adhesive. I paid $16.00 for a 300ml spray can of it. It is odourless, colourless, acid free, there is no mist and it says it does not gum needles.
I sandwiched three quilts using the basting spray. It was fabulous. They were now ready to be machine quilted. And then......I changed my mind.I took this quilt, put it in the hoop, grabbed my Perle Cotton......I used Valdani this time as I had it in stock....and the needles that were sitting beside me.
I started in the middle and worked my way around. In one evening I had the whole centre finished.
I had no trouble with shifting or puckering on the back. It was great.
I did the borders the next night and never picked up my hoop. I did straight lines,like piano keys, around the entire thing. The next day I cut and added the binding which will be handwork for stitch and chat.
It will have to be washed before donating as it was "glued" together.
We had a snowstorm. It was a good one! The snow was on the ground when we woke up around
7:30 am and it was still coming down when we went to bed around 11:00 pm. Morgan was here for a visit, so she was snapping a lot of photos.
