The best way is to baste the quilt together. With my carpal tunnel hands, I can't manage a hoop, so quilt by hand without.
I have made several quilts with the quilt-as-you-go techniques. The last one I did was to make 5 different panels, pin the top, batting & backing together and then quilt each individual panel on my sewing machine. I then join the panels with seam covering strips and zig zag the strips together.
I avoid ripping as much as possible!

Here are the supplies I use.

I guess I put money into the pinning process since it's my least favorite part of quilting. I wouldn't say it leaves no marks on the quilt but they are usually not noticeable. As my husband likes to say, "If they look that close, punch 'em in the nose!"

I most definetly appreciate all the great info, and I will be getting a walking foot as soon as finances allow....I did try the hoop "briefly" and became frustrated soooo I decided what the heck, I would hand stitch it. I must say I am enjoying the peacefulness that handstitching seems to bring. It's such a nice way to unwind at the end of the evening. I will invest in the walking foot before I make my next quilt tho...thanks again everyone! You are a great bunch of people and I can't tell you how much I appreciate all the great information and help everyone here gives. I'm so glad I found this site.
