Just wondering as I don't have the time or desire to scrub everything in there. My motto is ask first and be safe then sorry.Thanks Cuties !

Not so dumb, these things come from trial and error! Try spraying in a plastic container like tupperware or an ice cream container, it can be washed in warm soapy water later and I do take it outside when I do it - no overspray mess that way

No dumb questions! Just dumb if you don't ask! AND all the rest of us got some suggestions we hadn't thought of! So, glad you asked!

I use the box method but put some paper n it then remove so box want get so sticky & Hoope, Rosie is right. Mr Clean erasers work wonders. I try to avoid using stick if at all possible . Most times I try to pin article n hoop long enough to run basting stitch around the discard the pins. *

You got some marvelous answers - and I too use a shallow box - don't like the smell though. Bothers my eyes sometimes.

I spray it outside... but yes, my hoop gets sticky. I clean them every few weeks. If you use either an adhesive cleaner or one of those "magic erasers" from Mr. Clean, it will do the trick... cleans up perfectly every time.

Thanks 4 tip,*4 all

I use a shallow box such as a pop flat, when I spray for embroidery. It limits how far the spray can go. Quilts I lay out and spray middle then move the quilt so I don't spray over an edge. I do not ust the box for this but I do have one long piece of cardboard I lay under the edge of the quilt.

thank you for great tip,going to find a box,*4u

Method 1: I get a cardboard box, put the material to spray at the bottom and spray, no mess, no sticky surfaces. Method 2: Read a tip to remove top en bottom af a plastic drinks bottle and use that as a spray guard. It works, but I find it a bit awkward, and stick to my cardboard box. Hope this helps.
