Good Morning Ladies

The very best way to prevent any spray from clogging up - is to spray it upside down. The can, not you. Hehehe! *4U

I use Sulky KK2000 and so far I have had no issues. Anyway it seaslike you have very good answers already. I could not miss the opportunity of giving away a flower.

I use 505. It does not clog up. Any residue on needles or hoops I remove with DK5 by the same company. Works well. Hope you can purchase that where you live. I have also used the stuff by Madeira, but the cans are smaller and much more expensive, so now it's 505 for me.

If you can find a spray that does not gunk up your machine let me know as I have yet to find one in all that I have that I have tried. I just use a basting stitch to hold every thing in place now. I got tired of hauling out the alcohol after every time I used the adhesives...

I have used several of the ones allready listed. I also use Sticky stabilizer by sulky. ( my favorite.)haven't tried glue stick but it would be much cheaper. A flower for you.

I like the 2200 but I'm gonna have to try that glue stick suggestion, I'll try most anything once. especially if the cost is less. Oh & welcome to the cute fmly jmc we're glad to have U *4U

that should have been kk2000 sorry

I have always used KK2000. I have never had a can to plug up, but I see where sqdancer says hers has. I guess it could be temperature or humidity? Yet another mystery. ;)

I have been using the Sulky KK2000 and it works for me, but if I'm not wrong Cutiepie suggested many pages back that you can use Glue Sticks, I didn't try it yet but yesterday I bought some to test it . Flower and XoXo

I use my son's school glue sticks and love it - no sticky mess on my hoop, which I hate to clean

effectively, I use 505 spray that i buy in france, it seems me very good. I do not know if it is send to USA

Interesting, I just looked at the can of 505 spray and it is a product of France. I assume you ladies in Europe would be able to purchase at a better price. Also the can doesn't contain all the warnings and hazards to health that the dritz can that is mfg in the USA.

I too use 505 and occasionally Clover Fabric Adhesive Stick. I get 505 up here at WalMart (Canada). I think Joanne's carries it too.

I have heard 505 was good, but could not find it. This time around I bought Craft Bond by Elmer's and have no problem with it. I wash nozzle off quickly with hot water after use and as long as it doesn't get too old. I had found an older can sitting around......what a mess that was. *4U ><>

I ordered some 505 from Shoppers Rule. I was 12.95 for 500ml. I think that is about 17 ounces. I had been using Dritz spray purchased at Joannes. I haven't uses the new 505 yet so I can't compare quality.

I use 505, but have ordered a magna hoop which eliminates the need for adhesive and/or pins.

I saw this advertised on Eileen Roche mag site. It was $189. Did you by any chance find a better price?

I'm referring to the hoop, not the spray. Didn't want to give any sticker shock!!

That would be the jumbo price...the regular hoop is on sale for $129.95 at Ann the Gran.

PS I have one and it is NOT for every project. ;)

I was looking for some of this just yesterday but then wasn't sure of what I really needed. Thanks for the questions jmc and thanks dlonnahawkins for your answer. The can was a bit pricey so I wanted to be sure it was the right one. *****'s for all

Hi jmcl, I use two one if 505 and the other is Sulky KK 2000. I have had no problem with 505, but the KK 2000 has clogged and I have just run the hot water tap over the nozzel (facing to the side rather than up) you should be able to see that you have a shiny like look around the hole this will wash away with the hot water and then you spray should come out okay...hope this helps ...

Thanks for sharing this - I have also been told to rinse, and then turn can upside down to spray a little - haven't tried it, but should also work.

I use a quilt basting spray - called exactly that. Quilt Basying Spray, by June tailor. I have had it a couple years, and it(meaning the spray can) has not clogged. I have to be very carefuly with this, for it is rather "fragrant", and really do not use a lot - just enough to tack the fabric down. I use this when I do applique - and ofcourse, quilts. Look forward to additional answers.

What I have is Duro All-Purpose spray adhesive and after 2-3 uses it clogs. I turn it upside down and spray out after each use but that hasn't helped. I cleaned the top with paint thinner as is suggested on can...no good either. Thanks for your help. I'll try your brand!!
