Spray basting bottom, batting, and top and then putting on frame
#1
I would like to know how many people have put all their layers together and then put it on a frame to machine quilt. I would love to do this as it seems that it might stay together better but I dont want to ruin my quilt. Anyone out there that has had any luck with this?

Using a frame means not having to baste. The different rollers that you mount the top, backing & batting to are supposed to keep everything even & taut. I have only used basting spray on the frame to help control wonky borders and to hold the leading edge down flat while I machine baste the quilt top to the batting & backing.

I was afraid that the material would shift. I saw a couple videos where they did that and I didnt know if it worked. Thanks for all the input!! I am going to put the backing on the leaders and then float the top and batting. Wish me luck!!!

I watch the layout of the whole thing as I go along, even checking underneath visually to see that no puckers have snuck in, and eyeballing the alignment of the top and the batting every time I advance on the frame,
having learned all this the hard way ("Ask me how I know to ....",
and it really helps avoid problems.
