Just one quick response to your comment sewnclog. When you baste you use big stitches and they are very easy to remove. I usually make the 3-4-5 inches apart. Easy to remove, just cut the ends and pull the top thread out and then the bottom thread. Again I am referring to the Longarm but you can also do this on a domestic machine. That is the beauty of the basting, the stitches do not have to be small to hold the sandwich in place.
