I used to pin everything but picked up tips as I went along. ..now floating both top and batting goes so fast. Oh I never use the laser or pantograph or even the circle lol...
One more tip. You can unzip the leaders and pin the quilt on while you sit, if you have trouble standing for too long. I have two sets of leaders. Once I had to take the quilt off and put another on. Thank goodness all I had to was unzip the leaders.
