Carolyn, Good Luck to you. Remember, you are only cutting the batting which is very forgiving when you sew it back together. Your back and especially the top where you did all that work, remains in one piece. One thing I forgot to tell you, on a large quilt, I roll up the side that goes under the machine and use either bicycle clips or large pins and scrap material strips to keep the roll together. That way it is easier for me to juggle the quilt. Let me know how it goes. Marylou

Can you remember the name of the technique? I am having trouble finding it!!

Marylou is still on the board, I would love to hear if she is still doing this method!

I used the spray basting, which I love, no problem, had labeled the right/left side of the batting, but had a little trouble lining up the cut edge to the corresponding edge. I haven't decided if I like that method, I have another big one to do, but will mark my design on it, instead of just FM. This was my first experience with this method, so it may get easier.
