Pinning quilt sandwich
#1
For those of you who both hand and machine quilt and have a quilt frame for hand quilting.
I prefer to hand quilt but sometimes there just isn't enough time and I have to machine quilt.
I have such a hard time getting on the floor to pin a quilt for machine quilting. OK maybe not getting on the floor but getting back up. lol
I put my quilt into the frame as if to hand quilt and pinned and rolled and pinned, etc. Worked great.

I used my Flynn frame for pinning my quilts til I found basting spay. Now I use that and like it better than pinning. I still have to get down on the floor, but it goes faster so I can pull myself up sooner.
