However, that too requires the quilt to be basted first!
I plan to lay all three layers on the frame and let them drape so no wrinkles, and then put the clamps on. I plan to use Sharon Schamber's method of basting. I hope it will work that way. I have no tolerance for wrinkles or tucks on my quilt backs, lol.
