Thread: Interesting technique for basting without pins

That's the way I do mine. The only difference is I use water soluble thread so I don't have to worry about pulling it.

Both my DD and I use that method. But we use basting safety pins instead of thread. So much easier than getting down on our hands and knees. We have done baby quilts up to king size.

I just found this way to baste. I am seriously thinking about giving it a try because I have this monster to baste.

I love this method too. I don't mind the stitching, it's BIG stitches and goes really fast. Easy on the back too! I also LOVE the idea about using the water-soluable thread, what a GREAT idea!!

Tese Videos are also on YouTube. Just do a search for her name.

I've been using this method for quite a while and get fantastic results and it is so easy. For bigger quilts I do them a section at a time and then put it all together at the end and just quilt over the joins.
