Board basting a large quilt.....just wondering....
For those of you who use this method I would be interested in your opinion on something that has me puzzled:
Is it absolutely necessary that you roll your layers onto the boards whilst they are laid out on top of each other? Assuming you know that you have enough backing and batting to centre your top nicely why can't you lay each layer out and roll up that one before doing the next? Once rolled onto the boards they have to be moved around anyway and repositioned to then roll them out together for the basting...so is there something important about having them on top of each other that I am not understanding?
