Does anyone baste a quilt using the Sharon Schamber method? I bought the boards at Home Depot and the milliners needles too. Just wondering who uses this method and what you think.

I used it with the last quilt I did. I loved the method. The only problem was that I didn't have a large enough table on hand so I ended up not using the boards that time. She did refresh my memory re using that herringbone stitch to baste it. I'm going to use her method from now on!

That's the way I do it. Love it. It's easy and I can sit down.

I think I will give it a go tonight. I have a lap quilt ready to be basted. The method looks easy. I really don't like all those safety pins to put in, then taken out!

I used to hand baste by taping to the hardwood floor in my sewing room. It was OK, but hard on these old bones!! :-) Then I got my quilting frame setup, so that solved that problem. I have seen Sharon's method done, and it seems to work great for most people who try it.
