I'm a newbie also but had been told that I had to thread baste to hand quilt and that I had to pin baste when machine quilting. I'm hearing something kinda different here. What is correct...not that there are any quilt police..LOL
joannl, that is an interesting video...would you try to baste between where you might quilt (machine) in the ditch, then cut the basting threads to finish machine quilting?
