Hi Adam, I love your work and I have done many of these panels, but I have been looking for the titorial where Nancy Andersen tells how to group the patterns and resize them for the red and white pillow. Please comment and thank you.
5 spi is my personal preference but you can do it anyway you like. My machine has 5 basting stitches, I just don't use any of them. Not sure what you are asking with the second part, but I think maybe this, how do I assure everything is laying straight when I baste down that top edge and the top isn't shifted to the left or right? When I load my top, I make sure it rolls on straight. I also check to make sure the edges are straight before I load my top onto the frame. If everything isn't straight before I load, it's not going to be straight once it's loaded. When the top is lined up with the plumb line, I can look at it and make sure it's laying correctly before I sew it down. I used to mark the centers and that helped but I just eyeball it now.
For the most part I do. I know you lose some quilting space near the belly bar, but I just keep that in mind when I'm free motion quilting. I don't find it hinders anything else.

No clue, I haven’t heard of anyone doing that. Good luck.
I love the webbing hack ! YES !
This is my biggest challenge . I struggle on my hoop frame ( the Cutie) to keep my outer edges from fullness and puckers. I'll be watching ...
Do you suggest to use the ruler base all the time?
Awesome job 🙏
Great idea with the baste stipple 👏
I would like to say it's my original idea but I have seen multiple people do it before me. It does work great though.
I would like to see a closeup of your webbing attached to the quilt back and to the side. Great video, btw!
Thank you, I made a whole video about it called How I clap the sides of my quilt.
Do you baste all of your quilts this way?
Why 5 spi for basting and not 0.5 spi? When basting the top across how do you assure the corner aligns with the edge on the take up roller?

Why do you stipple baste rather than straight lines?
It’s faster for me. If I have something that I need to not move at all, I straight line baste.
Do you quilt for other?
Yes I do, I try to find time for that between all my teaching.
