This is now my "go to" method for basting. I have 2 sets of boards: I got 2 ten ft. boards and cut them so one set is 4 ft. and the other is 6 ft. I've used this method for spray basting, glue basting, pin basting, and even for the thread basting as shown on the videos and it works for all of them. It took me a while to get the hang of the thread basting but it works great with the crochet thread that's fairly cheap. No more groveling around on the floor or taping stuff down or clamping. Try it!
