Spray Basting

There are many videos on Youtube of spray basting - it's worth watching a few. Some people do it outside even in the wind. Some just spray the batting outside and then take it inside. It all seems much easier and more manageable than I ever thought possible, so it's time to try it. The below video is a short simple version that covers the main points. 

From all the videos I've watched these are the main points: 

• work in a well-ventilated space 
• press your three layers in preparation particularly the quilt top tape the backing down on the floor - obviously not carpet 
• have drop sheets around it to protect the floor although spray will wash off 
• if doing this on a table use a flannel sheet taped to the table to hold the backing 
• smooth out backing but do not stretch 
• lay the batting on top turn back a section of batting, spray the backing, lay down the batting and smooth it out keep working in sections 
• don't spray the edges of the backing/batting you not covering it all 
• do the same with the quilt top 
• smooth out but do not distort, 
• make sure corners are square 
• leave on the floor for 30mins or so until all glue is dry 
• wash any residual glue off the floor or wash the flannel sheet
