Hi Everyone - I hope you are having a great day.

I have a question - do I need to thread baste after having used a spray basting product if I want to hand quilt? I put together a small quilt for my GD and since I had planned to machine quilt it, I used a spray basting product. Well....I've changed my mind and now I want to hand quilt it. I'm a little concerned because I am a "bare handed" quilter (I don't use a frame, a hoop, or thimbles when I hand quilt) I do think I should baste around the edges, but I'm not sure if thread basting all over is needed or if it would be a waste of time.

Just a note: For years I was reluctant to use spray basting, but after reading many positive comments on this forum I decided to take the plunge and try it. I love it! I have not had a single pucker on my machine quilted items since I've started using it. I hope to have the same great results with hand quilted items.

Thanks for your advice. Have a pieceful day!
