Can't Live without it- part 14

Most of my posts of things I can't live without, I have tried to find the cheapest and best price for the product available. Well, this is probably my most expensive item that I constantly buy. However, it is the best basting spray that I have used and I would not be able to machine quilt on my own domestic machine without it.

This is called 505. You simply spray it between the layers (the top, batting and the backing) and truly even on my really large heavy Levi quilt none of the layers even shifted. The stickiness lasts forever. I have basted quilts before and come back to a month or even a year later and the layers are still completely in place and don't shift. On my larger quilts I do pin them with safety pins just in case. They used to sell really small bottles that wouldn't last that long, but now they are selling 00 ounce bottles. It is usually around $22-$25 a bottle depending on where you buy it. They now sell the small bottle in JoAnn's stores. Walmart also has it on their online store. (If you are looking for an online place I would suggest Walmart site-to-store. Free shipping and the same price you would buy it at a regular store.) I am really glad that both my LQS are selling it now in their stores so I can run and grab some when i run out. This bottle has lasted me at least 10 wall hangings and two quilts and is about 2/3 gone. That is pretty good.


Hope that you enjoyed.
