I have a Grace EZ quilter no baste frame. Used for handquilting. I load the quilt on that and instead of handquilting I baste it. For smaller quilts/wallhangings I put two fold out tables together (bought at Lowes and stores easy when folded in a closet) and baste with Pinmoors. Basting is the hardest and most dreaded part of making a quilt so I figured out the best way for me to get it done and over with. I found a longarmer who actually knew how to baste a quilt with her machine. She bastes most of my bigger quilts for me now. I had one LA baste some for me and she had puckers and pleats all over it and used a small basting stitch. What a mess.
