The last one I did, I was barely eeking out enough for the quilt. It did work out but I was holding my breath!! :) Judy@Quilt Paradigmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04853567189199120222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-581833911268371551.post-75324163991846613312014-01-14T23:26:50.605-07:002014-01-14T23:26:50.605-07:00Happy quilting to you!

My cutting table is big enough to baste most of my projects on and I have a couple of folding tables in the garage for bigger ones. I've been trying to break my addiction to spray basting by pinning some smaller ones. I drape a plastic drop cloth over my table to catch the overspray and use a bit of Goo Be Gone on the laminate floor when needed. <br /><br />I love having a few quilts basted and ready to go... Doing them in batches works well for me. I drape them over a futon in the family room or use pants hangers over the top of my design wall.

I found it much easier than dealing with the bulk of pins. 505 adhesive spray is great stuff!<br />Your quilts are darling!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-581833911268371551.post-34378632982006814262014-01-13T15:21:22.789-07:002014-01-13T15:21:22.789-07:00Jasmine, I pin my quilt sandwiches the same way, e...Jasmine, I pin my quilt sandwiches the same way, except I use safety pins instead of spray. I, too, only leave about a half inch to an inch of batting around the quilt, but I don't trim until it's quilted. I don't normally baste the edges but the last quilt I quilted the back shrunk more than the from so from now on I'll be using a basting stitch around the edges. What a lot of progress you made on that eye candy. Thanks for sharing!Angie in SoCalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01689281551068732574noreply@blogger.com
