Hi Jan,
I'm so glad that you responded to my asking for help in quilting the Sew Easy Strata Star. I always appreciate when you share your wonderful knowledge.

If you wouldn't mind my questions here... I've never basted a quilt or table topper. I went to YouTube and watched Sharon Schamber's video on herringbone hand basting, is this the type of basting that you would suggest on this smallish piece?

Or would I just use longer stitches along the linear lines of the star? I have to look on the Warm and Natural to see how far apart I can stitch...I was hoping to stitch most of the lines, however now think that less would probably be better? What do you think? I know this is probably a silly question but how long of a stitch length would you use?
