Wow, this is so much better than any method I have tried, and it keeps me off the floor. I especially like the part about eating cheesecake.

I am finishing my first one using Sharon's tutorial and am very impressed. Thanks for sharing.

When I've hand-basted my quilts for FMQ, I've always had trouble with my hopping foot getting tangled in the threads. On the other hand, pin-basting is a pain also and to me spray-basting isn't that great either because I can't easily move the top and batting and backing a little to re-line up the layers if I need to while quilting.

Any alternatives?

Thank you so much for all the effort and time you spent showing us this method. I have seen the video on YouTube but she uses a very small sample. This is up close and personal and I will book mark it.

I wonder if you could use warm and natural quilt batting to cover the boards. I always have left overs. Mabey will try it.

This is Sharon Schaumber's method as well, and there is video tutorial on her website, or maybe on Youtube. Your photos are nice and clear and your quilt is lovely!
