Board Method Basting w/Spray?
I did a search, but there were way too many options... Not sure if anyone has addressed this before, so I thought I'd ask!
I don't mind spray basting at all, but I can't really find a good way to do it on a big quilt. So I thought I'd try "the board method" along with spray... has anyone tried this yet? I'm sure it would work great with a small project, but I don't have any small projects (actually, I could just spray baste a small one on the table, so I'm specifically looking for tips on a large quilt!) and so I thought I'd check and see if someone else has tried this and if they liked it or not. Pros and cons, etc, etc. Thanks!! |
Sharon Schamber's board method?
(For those that have never seen it, here are the links to her 2 part video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhwNylePFAA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_EjBGz5vGQ) Yep, it absolutely works. You couldn't pay me to do hand basting. Ever. ;-) If you can't work on the floor, or don't have access to a table surface big enough to lay the quilt out, you can most definitely use the board method in conjunction with spray basting. I would suggest if you're working on a really large quilt, you have someone hanging around just to help turn the boards. It will go much more smoothly. |
I will give it a go, then. I didn't want to waste my time and money on trying it first lol! I get frustrated so easily these days :(
Any "watch out for"'s that I need to know before I try it?

I did the combo of boards and basting spray on my last good size quilt. I pin basted the borders and it worked really great. You do need to be able to get to both sides of the tables though.
