    • @summerleequilts
      @summerleequilts Рік тому

      Honestly, it depends on how far off the seams are. I have 4 kids and like to keep things super simple, so unless it's really bad...I'd probably leave it. If it is bad, then I only take out a few stitches on either side of the intersection and pin it to make sure it gets in the right spot. I'll make a video on how to do that soon.

    can you do the batting first and then start over with the quilt top?

    • @summerleequilts
      @summerleequilts 4 роки тому

      I'm not totally sure what you mean with batting first, but while setting up and between transitions (when you pull the quilt to the next spot), it's important to smooth them in order of backing first, then batting, and quilt top last. Hopefully, that answers your question, and if not let me know!

      @@cassieoz1702 We can work with that! What I have is 2 tables pushed together, but if I'm down to only using one...I will still clamp the quilt in the same way, but I will baste it in columns. So I'll get the width of the table all down one side done, then I'll shift the quilt over and start back at the top and go down again. I just repeat as many times as needed to get the full width of the quilt. I really hope that makes sense and is helpful!
