Oh quilting friends... PLEASE go view this youtube video!! It is the just the best way to baste quilts! I went on so much about how wonderful it was after renting a long table to baste a quilt that my DH just bought me my own table. It's a banquet table... plastic top/folding legs... stores in the garage. No more crawling on the floor! And even though she demonstrates with a small piece of "quilt", the method works for large quilts too! I haven't done a king, but I've done a queen-size!
Please view it... if I can baste like this, ANYONE can! I promise!!!
