I put my quilt on the quilt frame to sandwich it. Am I missing something? Sure, it takes up the whole living room, but nobody complains that they need to fix dinner so I can get the quilt finished and the frame down. Why are you pinning on the floor?
Trupeach tells me heavy duty hair spray works well for her, but I think she uses a natural fiber batt.
Pinning on the floor? Oh my knees and back. Isn't it just that much more difficult to put on the frame after it is full of pins?
I use either warm and natural or white flannel fabric for batting most of the time. It sort of self-sticks and is easy to quilt. My needles go right through.
Please, will someone clue me in on this pinning thing? I am self-taught and don't understand.
