I think you definitely hit the nail or should I say needle on the head with that beautiful sincere statement of your thoughts.

I never put a quilt on the floor to sandwich it, even a King size.. You won't believe this but I used a Queen size bed and sandwich all my quilts on it... I just make sure the back is ironed and smooth and the batting ( I use all cotton and put the dimple side up to better grab the top) I also smooth the top really well before Pinning it...
I have spray basted some using 505 but most times I just pin and not a whole lot of pins.. I also quilt on my lap and with no frame...
Haven't had any problems and have been quilting since 1985..

I love the journey, but sometimes the detours really take time! The detour signs are down a lot and you don't find out about the detour until you're half way through! Oh, well, each step is a learning experience. Happy Quilting, everyone!

I had a teacher who said "there are no mistakes in your quilts" and if you don't point them out to any one, chances are they will never notice (unless you enter them into a judged quilt show). Just loving little booboos.

Thank you!! That's how I -and obviously many other folks over here- feel.
Quilting hugs from Germany!

PS: I really appeciate the open mindness and tolerance of this board. Never felt left out or not fitting in, although I'm not from the States. Thanks to ALL OF YOU for making me feel comfortable and at home aboard!

I agree with you whole heartily, He and other "younger" generation understand what we have done most of our adult life. They think we should cater to them. I have found sanity and laughter here also a friendship which is hard to find in the real world. Friendship of one stranger helping another unseen but willing to help you back with out thinking of what you want i return.
