Carolyn, Good Luck to you. Remember, you are only cutting the batting which is very forgiving when you sew it back together. Your back and especially the top where you did all that work, remains in one piece. One thing I forgot to tell you, on a large quilt, I roll up the side that goes under the machine and use either bicycle clips or large pins and scrap material strips to keep the roll together. That way it is easier for me to juggle the quilt. Let me know how it goes. Marylou

Thankyou so much Marylou, I knew I wasn't dreaming about this method and had read it on here somewhere. :-)

Can you remember the name of the technique? I am having trouble finding it!!
I have found a thread from 2008 from Marylou, who says the technique is called 'Devide and Conquer'.

Here http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-343-6.htm

Marylou is still on the board, I would love to hear if she is still doing this method!
Thank goodness! I have been out of town for a few days so I just saw this!!!!!!

I haven't decided if I like that method, I have another big one to do, but will mark my design on it, instead of just FM. This was my first experience with this method, so it may get easier.
Pocoellie, did you cut the batting straight or with curves?

Yes, it is a really good method of basting, and I have used it for up to single bed size quilts, though I can't imagine using with anything larger. See if this works for you, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhwNy...eature=related
