If you mean this for me, I don't baste every seam. Just the ones that are super difficult. I nest my seams and usually am within a 16th of an inch, which is okay with me. The patterns like the Lone Star quilts where everything is on an angle and meeting from different directions are the only ones I have to baste. And sometimes that didn't help a lot. I don't tolerate the seams being off by even 1/8 inch so I am my own worse critic. I do fairly good with using pins most of the time.
