Hand quilt. Safety pins.
|
i hand quilt on a Q-Snap floor frame. I pin my quilts using safety pins. I put quilt on frame,and smooth both bottom and top so no wrinkles or folds and removing pins within quilt framed area as I do so. each time I move quilt to new area, I repeat the process of smoothing and removing the pins.

I use spray basting, it works for me :-)
|
I had only pin basted for years... and always had issues with tucks on the back. It seemed if I used more pins the tucks just got smaller.. but still had issues with tucks. Once I discovered spray... no looking back as I had no tucks. My only issue is the cost. Pins can be reused , but spray is a constant expense. I like 505 but have had very good luck with the Dritz sold at Jo'ann. I do use a few pins at the perimeter just to prevent lifting when I am moving the quilt around.

I pin baste. I have tried spray basting and am not happy with the results. In addition, just like PAM, you breathe that crap in. I do use it for applique to make my pieces stay put until I secure them with basting stitches. But, I do that outside now.
Your mileage may vary. Most of my quilts are large lap quilts or larger. |

I usually quilt on my longarm and don't find it necessary to do anything except add a few pins at the top and on the sides as I go.

I mostly pin. Have used 505 spray and love it but it is not freely available here.
