I baste with pins.
Good pins that I buy from the drycleaners.
About 1000 to the box
and I keep them in these nice old jars....
Trouble is the jars are all full
and I have nowhere to put the pins from the current quilting.
So it's time to baste a couple more quilts.
Next problem...
choosing a backing from my stash.
Once I have the 3 layers together
I do the pinning at the table
but with 2 chairs so I can move side to side.
I feel like I am playing a duet
but on my own.
One empty jar!
I find it not easy to sandwich with pins. i did my union station also with pins but now I am quilting and the background is not smooth , there are some folds; pleats everywhere. Do you have advices????
ReplyDeleteThank you! This is reminding me that I need to baste some quilts.
ReplyDeleteI have given up tacking with pins, I always had tucks and ridges however hard I tried. Now I use 505 temporary adhesive. It's expensive but it works and that makes it a bargain in my book!
