How do you all pin larger quilts that are too big to lay out on a table? There's GOT to be an easier way than what I do! Please enlighten me with your collective wisdom.
Thank you!
You must have been reading my mind...I was wondering how everyone else did their basting. I had an accident last Feb...a bad one...had 3 breaks...have two pins and a metal plate in ankle area. I got fracture blisters and was towards the end of May before I could put weight on my foot. I must have injured my knee when I fell, because it kills me to be on the floor pin basting. I will be okay for maybe half an hour, and then I can barely move.
I have used the method where everything is centered on a table and used binder clips to hold secure while I pin basted...I was not crazy about it, but thinking I might try it again. I have tried and tried to think of an easier way to do it.
