I would like to visually see ALL the steps that are involved in converting a quilt top into a quilt. No one actually shows the various basting methods and their pros/cons for use in a home. It's somehow assumed that you know this in the directions, "Quilt as desired." I greatly enjoyed Holice's "Quilt as desired" video. Now I'd like something similar for basting a quilt.

- straight pins with protector (e.g. Pinmoors), safety pins, spray/glue, thread basted with thread, wash away thread, etc).
- on table or floor (using tapes & various kinds of clamps or pins), basting in a frame, with pieces of wood like Sharon Schamber, etc).
- how do I physically handle all of this?
I guess there could be a series of classes just on this topic.

I also like the idea of learning about drafting quilts and quilt blocks.
