I have used it to baste quilts on my Handiquilter Sweet 16, and I like it. I pinned first and then ran a basting stitch down the middle of all the blocks. It doesn't have to be even, just enough to hold things together. I the. Took out the pins and had much more freedom to quilt. I used it in the top and bobbin so no picking threads out after the fact. For my next big quilt, a friend is going to use it to baste the quilt on her long arm for me. I did loose my top tension some, but nothing else. All it has to do is stay put until I wash it, so the tension doesn't have to perfect.
