I'm right behind Minstrel. Have been thread basting in sections but I'm now moving
to the Elmer's school glue side.
QuiltE, when I baste in sections, I fold top, backing and batting in fourths. Put a
mark at each point (north, south, east, west). Use bull dog clips to secure the
backing to the table. Smooth everything down. Do the same for the batting and
top. Once you've basted the middle, you can move the sandwich easily keeping
your registered marks lined up.
