I recently found and am now trying a different method of basting a quilt. Go to Sharon Schamber's site and view the video.
She used 2 boards 3" wide to roll the top and the back on. Reversed the roll and started adding batting, basting an arms length at a time.She only did a small piece to demonstrate. But, says can do any size. You must see to know what I am talking about.
I am trying to do a full size quilt this way. After getting it based, that quilt (ain't) going anywhere. It's pretty easy, only time consuming but all the methods I've seen are time consuming. It sure beats crawling around on the floor to get it sandwiched and basted or pinned.
Please let me know if you have tried this and how you came out.
