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.
