So if I baste it from the back they should be long on the back and short on the front. Since my feed dogs are down, I wont catch the long stitches on anything, and the few times I might catch the short stitches on the front will be a lot less than I was catching them before. I'll just have to be extra careful when basting to always make sure the front of my quilt (which will be on the bottom) is nicely centered.
