Really? That stuff is cheap. If this works for me, I am going to send you a FQ for giving me the idea.

Makes sense to me. Is sure affordable, I can afford to baste the charity q, crib,lap sizes that I do for old soldiers and kids in need.
Kathy :lol: |
I use pins only. :-D
|
My next quilt will be basted by a machine quilter for $10 to $15. She quilts in a grid of 4 inches. Hope it will work as I hate to put the thing together.
|
I swear by the 505 spray, and I trained hubby to do my spraying. Aqua-net?? Seriously??? Hrmm I need to add that to my grocery list!
|
I use 505 basting spray and quilter's safety pins which have a slight bend in them and are easy on the hands. Also they don't rust if you live in humid climate like I do.
|
I like large safety pins and I have Kwik Clip to help me. It took me a bit to figure out how to use it, but now I can't live without it.
