The Journey

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!

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!

But seriously, I have learned so much here now that I have all these new "friends".
