I hate it. I don't baste anymore.. I make the sandwich on the floor and then clip the edges. I put the center of the quilt on my floor frame and quilt the center of the quilt. Then I usually use my wood hoop and work my way around the quilted part. I just make sure everything is smooth and even in the frame/hoop before I start quilting.
I don't know how it works with Machine quilting, tho :) But that's how I hand quilt and it works great. I can make the sandwich in minutes. I do wear knee pads when I am on the floor too lol
