after getting my longarm. I will never go back to pin or glue basting again. If I wanted to hand quilt or to do sit down quilting on my domestic, I will load my quilt on the longarm and baste it there. I can't do all the work to layer and baste a quilt anymore. If I don't have my long arm anymore, I will check around and see if there are any longarmers in my area that will baste my quilt for me.
