Patricia, thanks for mentioning Sharon Schamber. I looked her up on YouTube and learned something new. She said you could use her technique with any size quilt. I don't think I could lift the boards on a large quilt. She said the boards need to be larger than the backing. I might try it on a smaller quilt in the future.

Your idea of trying the method on a smaller quilt is a good one. I'm sure you'll like it.

I love everything about quilting. I sandwiched two small quilts today. I sometimes make two and quilt them one after another. I will totally finish these two before I start any more. Donating these quilts and more to kids that must be removed from their homes.

I used to pin baste my quilt sandwiches & having a really painful back, it was not fun! I'm always looking for ways to make things easier. Now that I've found June Taylor spray baste which I can use in the same room as my bird without any problems, & I've learned to use a long cardboard tube from a roll of poly batting to roll the layers slowly as I spray the fabrics/batting, it's now a quick & simple project & I don't dread it any more. I sandwich it, let it dry over night and quilt without a problem. No dodging pins, it stays together even when I squabble it up to push it through the machine as I'm quilting & now I love everything about quilting!! :-)

I always believed that I "HATED" making the sandwich so I have TONS of unquilted tops in a pile. Recently I came to terms with my fear of Free-motion Quilting and I am now doing much better in the quilting department. As soon as I overcame that fear, I was just rearing to get going and to do so I needed a sandwich. I had that puppy basted in no time flat. Turns out that I was using the dislike of making the sandwich as an excuse to keep me from quilting.
