June Tailor’s
Quilt Basting Spray is repositionable. The adhesive bond that holds
your quilt layers together is temporary, allowing you to reposition
your quilt layers when necessary. |

| Where do I spray the Quilt Basting Spray to hold my quilt layers together? | |||||
| June Tailor’s Quilt
Basting Spray should be sprayed directly onto your quilt batting,
not the fabric. Back To Questions |
|||||
| Can I use Quilt Basting Spray for appliqué? | |||||
June Tailor’s
Quilt Basting Spray is not designed to be sprayed directly onto
fabrics to be used in appliqué. The spray was designed solely
for adhering batting to quilt tops and backs. |
|||||
| Will Quilt Basting Spray gum my needle? | |||||
| June Tailor’s Quilt
Basting Spray is designed to be colorless and odorless. It is a temporary
bond adhesive that dries clear between the layers of your quilt. The
adhesive does not remain sticky and will not gum your needle when
hand or machine quilting. Back To Questions |
|||||
| How can I remove Quilt Basting Spray from my quilt? | |||||
| If your quilt contains
100% cotton fabric and 100% cotton batting, you can machine-wash Quilt
Basting Spray to remove it from your quilt. If your quilt contains
a polyester/cotton blend fabric or batting, it may be necessary to
dry clean your quilt to fully remove Quilt Basting Spray. Back To Questions |
|||||
| I see spots on my quilt that I believe are from Quilt Basting Spray. How do I remove the spots? | |||||
| June Tailor’s Quilt Basting Spray
is designed to be odorless and colorless. The spots you see may have
appeared for one of three reasons. First, it is important that the
can be thoroughly shaken before spraying the Quilt Basting Spray onto
your quilt batting. This will ensure the contents of the can are completely
mixed as you begin to use Quilt Basting Spray. Second, the can should
be shaken throughout the basting process to ensure the contents of
the can are always thoroughly mixed. Each time the can is set down
or motionless, the contents inside the can begin to separate. If the
can has not been shaken thoroughly and constantly, the propellant
that allows the adhesive to project from the can will come out in
clumps and will not dry as intended. Third, To remove these spots,
we recommend machine-washing your quilt if your fabrics and your batting
are 100% cotton. If your quilt contains a polyester/cotton blend fabric
or batting, it may be necessary to dry clean your quilt. Back To Questions |

| I accidentally sprayed Quilt Basting Spray on something other than my quilt. How do I remove Quilt Basting Spray from other objects? | |||||
| To remove Quilt Basting Spray, purchase
Hexane at a local paint store. Hexane is a very flammable solvent
that will help to remove the adhesive found in Quilt Basting Spray.
We recommend testing the Hexane on a small, discrete area before treating
the entire surface. Paint thinner may also work. Pour the Hexane or
paint thinner on a rag and dab the affected areas. Allow to dry for
30 to 95 minutes in a well-ventilated area. Conduct final cleaning
using soap and water. Back To Questions |
