great tute!
i agree with thread basting- that is how i always do it too. i hate dealing with all those safety pins; it all just holds together better when thread basted. i 've never had luck with the sprays, wind up still thread basting so consider it a waste of time and money...but that's just me |

The boards I used here are 8 feet long, but I have a shorter, 5 foot, set that fits on my cutting table for smaller quilts. It works best to use boards that are just a little longer than your quilt is wide. Hope this answers your questions... |
thanks for sharing

I have used this method with great success. I have not put the flannel on the boards though- what a great idea. It will stop the quilt from sliding off the board. I watched the Sharon Schamber tute on UTube and now baste my quilts this way, for hand quilting or machine quilting. I got 2 sets of MDF in different lengths, at Home Depot and store them in a closet. I just use regular cotton thread for basting. This method is easy and saves crawling all over the floor.

Beautiful quilt. Your tute is great. This is the only method I use since I saw the Sharon Schambers video on youtube.com about 2 years ago. I have severe knee problems and being able to sit at the table and baste is just wonderful.
