Totally agree!
A lady at a sewing group I went to used a little gun that puts plastic tags through the fabric (like the kind that price tickets are attached to clothing with) to baste. Anybody used one of these? Are they useful? |
I've been putting mine over the ironing board so he hangs straight down. Also have been trying Elmer's glue for the center and the edges where the binding. Seems you can smooth it out a little better before you start actually putting it together.

I used this method for my first quilt, and for a couple of small little projects all at once. My knees are still OK, but my lower back won't do floor work. I can baste, but then I need to lay on the quilt to fix my back, and that messes things up. |
I reserve a room at the local library and push tables together. I use 505 spray baste and if the quilt is large, I ask a friend to help me. I usually spray it in halves.

JoyceRowell, thanks for the link. That looks like a really great way to pin/baste a quilt. Can't wait to try it.

I use the Patsy Thompson spray baste on the wall method. I got two insulation boards from the hardware store. Had to cut some off the bottom because they were too tall for my basement, but the result is a 6'x8' area to hang my quilt - can pin it right to the styrofoam board. It is actually kind of fun! When I'm not sandwiching, this is my design wall.
