Remember to check your dollar stores for the noodles before you spring bigger bucks for them!
Thanks for the great tips, y'all.

Thanks for the noodle tip! I'll be getting one this summer.
I also use my old Tupperware rolling pin to smooth out the glue. Just so I don't confuse anyone, it's top or bottom, glue, and batting layered. I do one side and let it dry for a few hours then flip and continue with the other side.

Very smart. Pool noodles cut into about 12" lengths make great supports to put in your tall boots when you aren't wearing them, too.

Great idea! Thanks. Now I just have to remember it until the next time I baste a quilt. I usually have my husband help me re position the fabric over the bat when it's glued but this will allow me to do it myself if he's not around.

That is a great tip. Thanks

Thanks for that tip. I don't use glue for basting, but may get adventurous and try it with this tip. It always seems like a lot to manage.

I have a space between my headboard and mattress, pool noodle covered with a quilted case filled it perfectly. There are extra long ones.

I have been using this method for spray basting for the last couple of years. I love it! I am going to try winding the binding on a piece. Good tip!!

Been doing that trick for quite some time. When I finish starching and pressing my fabrics I roll them on a noodle
until I can get to them to cut out my quilt. No folds or wrinkles. You can roll every piece for the same quilt on one noodle. Every piece in one place and ready to be cut.

What a great idea Tartan. Thanks so much for sharing. I always have some trouble getting the 1/2 that I'm going to spray baste to go back down without it having wrinkles. This should do the trick.
