Did I Just Figure Out A NEW Way to Pin Baste?! Custom Quilt Update!

Published 2024-07-17
I may be a little too excited about this pin basting hack I figured out! You can baste your quilt with pins by hanging the quilt sandwich up! Cool, right? This quilt has definitely had its challenges, but it's so much fun working on it, and I can't wait to show you how I baste a quilt using pins. Feel free to ask any questions in the comments section!

    Giiirl your school glue basting changed my life and I'm never going back lol but this is really helpful incase i ever need to baste anything that can't be washed.
  • @pammcdowell8635
    This is such a great idea!!! Definitely using this when glue isn't an option. I'm so glad I found you!
  • @linash1947
    So glad I got to see this video. Love this idea for a woman of 76. Love your videos.
  • You do a beautiful job on all your quilts. After learning how you glue baste. I just finished quilting my first glue basted quilt. Not one pucker! I'm so thrilled with it. Thank you so much❤
  • Thank you so much for your great pinning Tip. Very interesting. You are amazing and so sweet Thanks again Mary Lou ❤😊

    Hi there ! Just a suggestion from my own experience that worked very good for me: If you could have another person to help you, you can baste by sewing instead of using safety pins. If you stay in front of the quilt and your hubby/sister/friend/neighbor (?) in the back side, you pass the needle back and forth until it’s all basted. No special skill required to achieve that with a person who does not know to sew anything; just pass the needle ! Much easier and convenient during the quilting process, not to deal with keeping track and removing needles. And of course the basting thread should be a color easy to see to remove after quilting. Hope you can use this tip sometime.
  • Great job I like to see it when it’s quilted beautiful quilt thanks for sharing❣️✂️🪡🧵💖💗✂️
  • This is a great space saving (and back and knee saving) way to baste a quilt! I prefer thread basting as I batch baste and stash my tops. I love that you/ can reach around the back to check for wrinkles. The photographers frame is a great idea - really convenient and efficient.
  • @susangray6470
    I was thinking this stand you are using could be used to arrange blocks on your quilt top. I don't have a wall that I can useas a design wall. I would hang a sheet on the stand and then pin my blocks to it. That way I could step back and see it better before sewing blocks together. And when I'm done I can take it down and store it for the next time.

    Great idea, Quilting frame upright! Beautiful Quilt!
  • Great idea! I used to be a photographer and I have one of these stands. Being g 75 yo I dread pin basting on the floor. This method is something I definitely want to try!
  • WoW. I love the BLUE Background and backing fabric!! That is so pretty. Can't wait to see the Box meander!! MY FAVORITE of the Meanders!! (Now I just need to practice so I can do it!!). LOL
  • Next level thinking! That idea might save my table top & my back! ❤
  • @jillthomas366
    Great idea! You could also hang some flannel and use it as a portable design wall. 👍🏻
  • Great idea for pin basting. I've been doing mine across 2 folding tables and this looks like it would be so much easier. My husband had one of these stands and the clips can be found at harbor freight.
