try Sharon Schamber's method of basting & layering. I did & find it so much easier & faster. and no pins to take out. her you-tube video explains it really well. 14yr GD did it for her
first quilting ever--no puckers at all. used serpentine stitch.
you just have to think of where your quilting lines are going
to go so not as many basting stitches are in your way. but--if
they are, a quick snip & they are out of your way. I just did
3 quilts that have been sitting waiting for the quilting.
