How do you baste a quilt on a home sewing machine?
#3
I think I can manage the stitching. I would like to know how to manage
the quilt sandwich. Do I have to put a few pins before I bring it under
the needle? Baste partly? Somehow I'm not sure if just rolling it would hold
it in place but I could be wrong.

If it is not pinned well, even using a basting stitch, your layers are going to shift as you move it around JMHO :D:D:D

Check out Youtube. There are many videos detailing how to quilt on a regular machine. I've found them very helpful.

Truth is I hate pinning. Well my carpal tunnel flares up so I avoid it.
Thread basting is not so bad but machine would be sooo much better.
There has to be a way. I keep hoping. Come on guys and gals, put your
thinking caps on. ;-) :thumbup:

I don't know how you begin to baste without having some pins in it! And I agree that if you are going to pin heavily enough to keep it stable to baste, well just go ahead and completely pin baste. I suppose you could spray baste the top to the batting and the batting to the backing but I would still be concerned about shifting. If you did attempt it that way, I would start my basting in the center and work my way out to eliminate any puckers.
