This weekend I tried Sharon Shambler's method. No taping required

I just made a table runner using Sharon Shambles's method as mentioned by Kiwiquilter.
Since I enjoy handwork, the tailor basting type stitch was quick and easy. The results were above and beyond my expectations. I, too, am a convert to this method. :-) With my asthma, I am unable to use the basting sprays. :-(
