Layer the Quilt on Table Top

Even tho I have a machine quilt frame I would do this for baby quilts. I think there would be less waste.

Enjoy, she's cute, and her family adores her.

That was fun!

This is what I have done for almost 30 years. I use to ask my LQS when the classroom was available to pin baste larger quilts there. Always made for a fun day spending it in a quilt store.

Thanks for sharing. I'm going to try it.

I saw that video a while ago and have been using her method since. Works great!

Thanks sooo much for sharing! My knees always require healing time after sandwiching my quilts - so much so that I was thinking about giving up quilting.

I had quite a few chuckles over that one, but it was helpful, too! I used it today to baste an oversized queen quilt top. That method saved my bacon! Thanks!

Thanks for posting. I have been doing this on King size quilts for 40 years and it works great. I just use more binder clips to keep everything together. :thumbup:

I learned this trick on a Craftsy video. I use the skewers and the last time I marked the centers of the sides, ends and center of the table (I use my cutting table) so that I wouldn't have to measure it each time--I just get the skewers and place on those marks and use blue painter's tape. I've done this method on small and large quilts. I also use the large binder clips.[QUOTE=briskgo;7460757]http://quiltingdigest.com/layer-a-la...a-small-table/

Sharon Schambers has a easy, fast, no wrinkle way to put the quilt sandwich together. I've done it on several quilts and it has worked very well. Go to her web site and the tutorial is on it. She also shows a good way to stitch it or I think you could use the spray, too
