Multi day process

Sounds like you and I have a lot in common! I can relate to the hard work involved here - recently took on a project of refurbishing an old quilt. This lady's idea and mine of 'heirloom' were clashing in my brain! This was one I would have just thrown into the burn pile, but gave her my promise it could be repaired. I have to take the entire quilt apart, slowly, very slowly as the material was pretty well rotten. Once it was completely taken apart, I removed the torn spots, put back all squares and then quilted it all. The binding was replaced with scraps that were removed. Although this was a nightmare for me, she cried when she saw the finished project. I think I'm retiring from refurbishing older quilts.

Those of you who are suggesting spray basting or Elmer's glue basting, the OP is planning to hand quilt. For sure Elmer's won't work for that. I know that some hand quilters ***lightly*** spray baste, but I would be worried about over-doing the spray and then having every hand stitch harder to do than it needs to be.

I put new floors in my house years ago, and I use 2 10 ft boards from that. Good luck> This is the only way I do mine.

My body will not do floors any more. I go to the church and shove tables together and that works great or go to your local library and ask if there is a space you can use they are always happy to help. Think any large meeting areas they usually have the tables there already and a call or two and you are on your way. Good luck!
