SO do yall think that will work or will it mess up the carpets or any suggestions for doin it ive spent all this money in these quilts and time with a bad back i dont want to not get to finish them. and my family is lookin forward to them badly. PLEASE HELP thanks
If your in an apartment, do they have a club house? I'm able to go down and make my quilt sandwich in our club house. I've also gone over to the senior center and used a meeting room to make my quilt sandwiches. I use basting spray when I have to transport my quilt sandwiches. Good luck.
