(The kind with the wire loops that flip down to hold the paper tight. Google binder clips for a pic.)<br /><br />Lay your backing down so the edge hangs off the table and use the binder clip to clamp it to the edge of the table on one side. Now go to the other side to pull the fabric tight and clamp. Once it's clamped, the backing can't move so it's easy to add the batting and top, then pin. If you put enough pins, there's no need to thread baste.Mary Marcottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14569619947909529203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4126317057339121070.post-35796413866813564752011-05-19T17:53:40.398-06:002011-05-19T17:53:40.398-06:00What a great finish!!

Start in the middle pinning and keep working out smoothing as you go and pin like crazy :)Melissa Corryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17466540745755929200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4126317057339121070.post-20835213359117381652011-05-19T12:03:26.491-06:002011-05-19T12:03:26.491-06:00Do you have a tutorial on Basting a Quilt...I am g...Do you have a tutorial on Basting a Quilt...I am gonna try to do my own...but I am stuck on how to baste it so I don't get any "puckers"....Perishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00682195297643664963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4126317057339121070.post-36239640430584092011-05-19T11:54:21.135-06:002011-05-19T11:54:21.135-06:00all my fabrics for this quilt along are still hang...all my fabrics for this quilt along are still hanging on the back of the chair, haven't even cut them yet! it is next in line as of today, never knows what tomorrow will hold though!Ann Marie @ 16 Muddy Feethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18043510561974011878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4126317057339121070.post-44206833673653766662011-05-19T11:28:42.595-06:002011-05-19T11:28:42.595-06:00Congrats on finishing.
