Thread basting
 

I like to use my Q snap floor frame for thread basting if the quilt is fairly small. It only took about an hour to baste my Cat quilt. I start by laying the backing down flat on my ironing surface, smooth the batting over it and then the top. I iron the sandwich and then put safety pins around the perimeter before picking the sandwich up. I then take it to my Q snap and put it on. It is now ready for the machine quilting.
I do like using Hobbs fusible quilt batt but I am out right now. I also like glue basting but I have to wait for it to dry and wash the quilt after quilting. I sometimes use safety pins for small project basting too. All methods have merit.[ATTACH=CONFIG]580563[/ATTACH]

That is such a cute quilt!

oh that is going to be so cute! love the ones cuddling!

I thread baste a lot as well. I use clamps and work my way across the quilt. THEN I unclamp, move the next section into place, clamp and continue. Works really well for me

Thanks for the helpful hint. I have a QSnap frame and never thought to use it this way!

I had a frame like that. I sold it years ago to a former member on here. I do the same as the others, except I use my glass topped dining table. I clamp all three layers ans pin baste.

I might have to pull out my Q-snap soon. I have a wall-hanging to baste.
Too big to pin and I don't like to glue polyester batting. I bought some
clamps which I've never used. Maybe this will be the time to try them.
I enjoy thread basting. Actually, I find it quite relaxing.

This is exactly how I do it and It does work very well.

This is how I baste too. It works for me, but one day I want to try the board method that has been suggested here on the QB before.
