I didn't think much of it at the time but would I love one now!!
Yes I am working on my quilt on Christmas...told ya I am hooked! LOL

Watch Sharon Schambers tut on you tube on basting a quilt. It shows how to put the sandwich together in the easiest way and how to baste the best way. You could also spray baste it you wanted to. But the way she puts her quilt together is absolutely the best way. Check it out.
