Go to Sharon Schambers web site and check out her quilting. I love how she does her basting. I pland to do this same thing on the next large quilt I do. Currently working on a baby quilt needed by 2-19. Just cut it out last night and was out of town today. Really working on it aren't I. lol. Congrats on your new DIL and good luck on the quilt. You can do it, I have done all of my quilts on my reg. Bernina 930 - No long arm and no access to one. I just can't bring myself to send one out, all who do long arms in my area are at least 80-100 miles away.
