Boy, I'm kind of surprised at just how much in the minority that I am! I prefer to thread baste. I used to pin baste on the floor, but my RA doesn't allow me to crawl around on the floor (knees) or open and close the pins (hands) so I now thread baste. I just use a 6' folding table and start in the middle and baste, then move it and straighten and do another section. I've used Sharon Schamber's method as well a few times, but the last time I tried it, got frustrated because my backing was stretching and the seams on the front weren't and it just wouldn't roll up evenly. Not sure what was up with that :-/
