I have just finished the top of a full sized quilt I have made for my son. (I actually have two other quilt tops done, one is queen sized and one is twin sized). The problem is, the only other BIG quilts I made (about 8 years ago), a friend helped and showed me how to tape down the layers, bottom, batting, top; then pin them every 4 inches, or so, from middle out.
My problem is that now I am a little older and this process is killing my knees (I even have knee pads), hips and back. Is there another way to pin a large quilt together?
Oh, also, she had some terrific tape to tape the material down and it wasn't harsh on the cotton, nor was it masking tape. I thought it was called Quilter's Tape, yet every time I've looked for Quilter's Tape, I only find the 1/4 inch tape. I don't know what the tape she used was named. Help??
Thank you! :)
