Then I can quilt from the center out without a problem and only open up the basted edges to quilt when I get that far.
I don't do machine quilting except for SID, so I don't know if this procedure would work for those of you who do, but it works for me. Just a thought which might be useful to some of you.

I didn't realize so many had answered this post. I bought a new computer and got on hi speed. Problem solved for now, but I will keep all these suggestions in mind. Sometimes technology is frustrating.
Thanks everyone!
