What is your least favorite part of quilting?
#62
I hate preparing the fabric to cut, I'm a lefty and rotary cutting is a pain in the you know what. Also I hate sandwiching and pinning the layers together, cause I have to do it on my knees on the floor in the basement and sometimes I hard getting back up.

Cutting is what seems most like a chore to me. I don't mind the starching and ironing at all and enjoy the rest of the processes. Cutting is kind of stressful still and I have yet to find just the right table height to cut without an achy back. I have a decent size cutting mat, but wish it was bigger.

There is a "how to baste" video that lets you do it on a table (or two tables put together end-to-end for a large quilt).

Click on CLASSES - FREE CLASSES - them look for the basting video
I haven't tried with, but the person who did said it worked well and kept her off the floor!.
This is the link to the video - if it works.

Isn't that the way of it. I've also bought gadgets to do this or that & found them to be more trouble than they're worth!
