Nope, not a typo (although, I sometimes do get bored while basting, not my favorite part of quilting). I'm constantly looking for new ways to baste a quilt, that doesn't not include getting down on the floor. My knees just can't take it. This technique also allowed me to do this on my dining room table. I have seen this method to baste a quilt on several blogs and I just had to try it. I think it originally was Sharon Schamber's technique, but she hand bastes her quilts. I quilt way to dense to hand baste. So I decided to try using the 1"x3" boards with pin basting. Start with your backing fabric wrong side up on the table. Wrap the fabric around the board. Make sure that you keep both ends even. Smooth out any wrinkles as you go, start in the middle and push the wrinkles to each end. back Top Do the same with the quilt top, but the fabric will be right side up. Now, both the top and the bottom of the quilt are wrapped around the two 1"x3" boards. The back shows the right side of the fabric, the top shows the wrong side. The batting floats between the top and the back. Smooth out any wrinkles and start pin basting. When your done pinning the section on the table, pull in forward and let it hang off of the table and unroll another section of top and back. make sure you smooth it out and feel for any wrinkles. Continue this process until you get to the end of the quilt. Voila'! Your quilt is basted, no kneeling, no finding room to set up 3 or 4 folding tables. So, now I have the third panel of my Elephant quilt basted. Just have to quilt it now. Color Me Quilty! Pat
