I have a question for those FMQ quilters. Since I'm new at all this I've put together some squares with batting,front and back to practice on which is highly advised. My question is what do you use to keep the pieces together? I used safety pins but it just seems to loose. Would anyone suggest I use a basting spray to keep the pieces together. It seems it would flow better if all three layers where more stiff. It could just be my machine since it's older. I have a kenmore that my sister in law gave me probably 10+ yrs ago and it was probably a few yrs old at that time when she did. Anyway, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
