Can anyone give me a few details on how "you" baste your quilts? Some use safety pins, while some don't. Some use regular pins, some don't. Some baste with thread...some use the basting sprays.
Do you use starch? Where do you do your basting (floor, kitchen table, etc.)
ania755 posted this link to a video in another thread (the other thread: http://www.quiltingboard.com/posts/list/26522.page ) about basting:

I've found that to be helpful, well, it's informative. It hasn't "helped" me yet because I haven't tried it. Has anyone ever used this method? Does everyone really baste that close together. I had in my head that it was good to baste 5 inches apart. I did baste mine closer than 5 inches, though.

I may find time to re-baste and possibly quilt this project this weekend. I'm hopeful.
