When I hand quilt, I thread baste my quilt in my old fashion quilting frames, before I pin my quilt into the frames, I add a waste piece of fabric all around the quilt, about 4 inches in width, and that is what I pin to. After my quilt is all basted, I take it out of the frame, and quilt the borders first, then I put my binding on, and hand stitch the binding down. I then proceed to hand quilt in my 14 inch quilting hoop, relaxed in my easy chair. I do not have the extra backing and batting to deal with this way, and my quilt is very secure, as I baste across the quilt about every 2 1/2 to 3 inches apart. I hope this is clear, the way I have described. I have done it for years this way, my mother always told me it couldn't be done this way, but I do it all the time, I have done between 200 and 300 quilts this way, and at least 30 to 40 have been king sized.
