Just spray basted a 60X60" lap quilt. I HATE crawling around on the floor for a multitude of reasons... sore knees, too clumsy, dog fur (no matter how much I sweep before I start), the dogs automatically think the new quilt is their new napping place... I could go on but you get the picture I am sure!
Tonight I had a flash of brilliance... why not tape the backing to the wall instead of the floor!? I don't have a lot of places in this house where I can do that but I think the laundryroom will do just fine!! I am trying it in the morning with a tree skirt that I am dreading trying to get it layered and I'll tell you how it goes! |
inquiring minds want to know

Interesting idea!!!
|
I'm with you on the sore bod. If the wall thing works let me know I'll clear off a wall and try it myself. Good idea
|
Sore knees, or I should say....no knees here - hope it works!
|
Great idea!!! I'm anxious to hear how it works!

Also, how do you keep it from getting on the floor/wall? I have to put newspapers all around the edges. That stuff isn't easy to get off the floor!!
|
Thats what I'm wondering....how will you keep the overspray contained?

Here's my report:
Took me 15 minutes to baste this table runner. No pain, no dog hair, no sweating! Based on previous events, I think it cut the time in half and probably cut the aggravation down to 5% of what it was to do it on the floor. Looking forward to doing more! I used blue painter's tape so it won't mark the new walls! [ATTACH=CONFIG]39877[/ATTACH] The batting stuck well could be re-positioned and pulled!

Wow, that's beautiful! Great job!
