    Some long arm quilters will baste everything together for a fee, of course! LOL But better than hands and knees getting sore...this method looks way smart. I'll try it on a small.

    I was taught Sharon's method at a quilt demo a my quilting group... My husband made me two super smooth boards to use. I use this method for wall quilts and lap quilts... some time I pin if they are small. I enjoyed the refresher on her method.

    I was just telling my DD today how hard it was pin basting my last large quilt on the floor that I may never make a large one again, maybe this will have me eat my words...

    This looks similar to what I do but without the boards. I think it would be more accurate than just working with the top on the sewing board. Thanks for sharing it.
