I'd just take loose as much as I need to ADD the extra fabric.

can't you just unpin a little, enough to give you room to manipulate the sandwiched quilt and add a piece to the back? I would give it a try before undoing the whole thing

Instead of removing all the pins and starting over, could you pull back the top and hand stitch of machine stitch the 6" or so onto the batting that is in place? Just a thought :o)

I had it once that I hadn't placed the top on straight so by the end of the quilt, I ran off the edge at the bottom. It hasn't happened again. Now I measure one on top of the other and if necessary add "interesting" stripes to make it bigger than the top. I'd rather trim 5" off than run short.

Been there done that, now I always check, and then check again. Just think how creative you can be extending the backing.

How many pinmoors would you say you would use for a small quilt? Say 50x60" - a baby's quilt. I see they come in 2 sizes of packages and do not know which to buy. Would rather try the smaller one but do not want to waste money ordering them twice if I need 100.
