I finally had the opportunity to try out the Sharon Schamber method of basting and wow! I have just finished basting a double quilt and I did it sitting down. Instead of basting with a thread, I used pins and it worked great. I did not even need to take a break or stretch in the 4 hours it took me to complete the basting. This method is now a keeper for me.
You will not believe how easy and convenient it is until you actually try it. My dining table was big enough for the width of the quilt top so the excess length dangled at the other end of the table. I rolled it all up on the plank and placed batting in the middle and the rest is history. I can start quilting tomorrow which is so great.
Try it out peeps and let me know what you think.
Happy quilting.
