I tried the pool noodle basting method today and it worked like a charm. Before I knew it I was finished on a lap quilt I am making for my granddaughter. Will be using this method from now on. Thank you so much for the video.
I’m so happy to hear positive feedback on this method. It does come together really quick👍🏼✅🤓
Love how you get right to the point without all the intro chitchat!. I have used the noodles twice and still working on getting it smooth. You make it look so easy. I use cans from my pantry to keep the noodles from rolling. Like the pool noodle on the table. Will have to try it. Thank you for the info on the right and wrong side of the batting. I guess I have been lucky and got it right by accident on all but one quilt. NOW I know why the batting was poking through the fabric after quilting. THANK YOU! WE can still dream of that huge table in our home to do this on. No more floors for me!!
New to quilting, I’ve made 3 and had no idea there was a right and wrong side to batting! Thank you for this education! And for the super pool noodle tutorial!
❤😊 Honestly this is Very HELPFUL!!! Game changing, Awesome learning from Ur Gifts ❤😊
This was the best video I’ve ever seen in basting the quilt. Finally an easy way to do it. Thank you so much for making this video. I can’t wait to try it.
I no longer quilt large quilts so when I saw this I discussed it with my husband. Instead of using pool noodles, my husband sanded down two lengths of lumber about 3 1/2 inches wide by 60 inches long and I use them to wrap the top, batting, and backing. I pin every few inches and then roll out a few more inches and pin baste some more. It works beautifully. So thanks for the idea.
That’s wonderful!!!👍🏼🤓🤩
Good husband.
Wow! Tracy, so glad I saw this! My 80-year old knees and hips hate getting down on the floor, and hate even more getting up! Floor basting is one reason I usually send my quilts to the long-arm quilter, who does that part. This will make quilting my own so much easier, and it will save me money! I really enjoyed your tutorial, which was easy to understand, and you didn't have any extra time-wasting "chit chat" or. annoying music. I gave you a "thumbs up" and subscribed; looking forward to more of your videos!
Thank you so much for the kind feedback Jeri. I really do appreciate it. The pool noodles definitely are worth it! And so inexpensive too!✅🤓
OMG! You are 80 and STILL quilting? You rock!
As someone who has accidentally pinned a quilt to my carpet🤦🏾♀️, my only large floor space, I so deeply appreciate this quilting life hack! 🙃😆❤️
*_Oh no Amber..you pinned it to the carpet/? (it is kind of funny though....sorry LOL) You will love this hack for sure!!!💛_*
Thank you SO MUCH! As a 72 year old quilter it is difficult to sandwich my quilts together. You make it look so easy. I can't wait to try this.
I’m so excited for you to try it! I disliked crawling around on the floor so much as it was so tiring. The pool noodles are much easier for sure! Keep me posted on how it goes for you. ✅✂️🤓
Wow. So much easier, and I love how the pool noodles are so light and flexible. You're an excellent teacher, too. That's a talent in itself. 💜
Thanks so much 😊
Tried this method this morning and it worked great! Took me about 20 minutes total to baste a twin-size quilt. Very easy and quick. Thanks a million!
Awesome Mary Anne! This is definitely an easier way ✅ thanks for the great feedback 💛
Just got done crawling around on the floor for a full workout to sandwich my latest quilt. Sweating and everything so I was ready to see this.
Crawling on the floor to quilt baste is a nightmare!!!!✅
I love your channel! I just started quilting and I have so much to learn. Thank you for all your videos!
You’re welcome Jo🧡
I can't even begin to tell you how much I hate putting a quilt sandwich together. This is a game changer! I am going tomorrow to find pool noodles or pipe insulation and get those tops basted! My kids may actually get their quilts some day! LOL Thanks so much!
Wonderful!!!! Have fun with it!!!💛
❤❤❤❤ I’m 79 and still am excited to learn new methods. I’ve known about people using pool noodles, but never saw a good demonstration until your video. 😊 I’m eager to try it. You were ingenious to join two together like a male and female plug PLUS the tape! And the way you set up for machine quilting-you rock in that department!! The “necklace” to help support the part in front of you-now that is super-Genius! Adding quilt batting and then the Minky-so smart. I love how you describe the feel of it. I can’t wait to see the video of your husband opening this gift. He will love it not just because you made it, but because you customized it just for him. ❤❤❤❤❤
I love that you are still learning...I love learning and trying new things. I can't wait until my husband opens his quilt. He's gonna love it❤️ Merry Christmas🎄
I am just getting started in quilting, and this idea is genius! Thank you so much for sharing!!
Well that was genius. Can’t wait to try it. This summer it sounds like I need to buy 100+ pool noodles because the usage possibilities are endless 💕
Thumbs up and subscribed. Thank you so much. I have 2 unfinished quilt tops because of the dreaded lack of space and puckered quilt backs. I used to borrow a quilt store classroom but many store owners retired and closed shop over the years. And who knew there was a right and wrong side to batting...you did! Learned on another channel about little templates for home quilting. Today has been a game changer. I must resume quilting.
Awesome! It’s so much fun to get excited about sewing! ✅✂️👍💕
Yes, years ago I was able to pin baste my quilt at a nearby store when the classroom was not used. One shop of 4 remains and they were too busy. I was able to use the large meeting table at work and spray basted for the first time just folding back and spraying. Took like 3 hours!
The table has curved sides so visibly weird. I wished I had an extra pair of hands. I might try the noodles next time. Not sure if I will spray or go back to pinning.
Love your idea about connecting the pool noodles! I understand about getting down on the floor, I still have to do that, occasionally. Will definitely do this next time!!! One of my biggest problems about getting down on the floor, is trying to get back up!!! LOL! I also love the idea of using sheets for the backing!!!
Getting back up is issue for me too lol 😂
This is the perfect time of year to stock up on pool noodles at The Dollar Tree! 😀
I had thought my most recent quilt was my last quilt but you have given me hope. I will follow this channel closely.
Thank you for linking this tutorial. Now I have no excuse for not basting and finishing my quilt!
Sewers always find interesting and unique ways to make the creative process easier. Thank you for sharing this!
*_You are so welcome!✅🤓_*
You are a genius! I don't know how I missed this series! Thank you!
Woowww after all these blanket i did with backack and knees hurting..Thank you so much for video so much better..what ive been doing
*_You’re welcome 😊_*
This was a good learning tutorial for me. I did not know there was a right/wrong side on batting. And the use of the pool noodle is so clever. Thank you!
Thank you Tracey for this tutorial, I’ve have now basted 4 quilts with the pool noodle method and every time I come to the basting I watch your tutorial as a refresher, I didn’t know that there was a top and bottom for the batting either, now you have enlightened me, something I learned today after rolling my Grandsons queen size dinosaur quilt onto the pool noodles, the quilt top and the backing are directional so I had to make sure that before I started basting it that I had the backing matching the direction of the quilt top, lucky that I thought to check on that before hand as I was about to baste the backing upside-down 🤪, and got myself quite confused for a moment, then re-rolled the backing, finally got it right. Now to set up for quilting it. My first sewing experience was when I was seven years old and I wanted to make a dress for my doll, I hounded my poor mum for some material, which she didn’t have as she did not sew, she got so tired of me carrying on she pulled out her Wedding dress which her mother had made and gave me that, which I gleefully began to cut a piece out of, I’m so ashamed that I did that, and my punishment…. I don’t have mums wedding dress that my grandmother made.😔.
*_I also get confused when basting a quilt with pool noodles LOL 😂so you're not alone . Don't worry too much about the dress of your mums.....although I can totally relate...years ago when I was in 6th grade my mom made me a dress that I adored at the time and wore with pride....I kept it for a long time but then one day I was "weeding out" some old stuff.......and I gave it to the goodwill.....needless to say...I totally regret doing that...and wish that I hadn't done that....😟At least we can have the memories of the items....💛_*
You are a wonderful, and very thoughful, teaher.
1. I did not know that there was a right side, and a wrong side, to batting.
2. I did not know how to join Pool Noodles to makes them long enough to use on large quilts.
3. I also did not know how to use that spray glue safely. The quilt shop owner, that I bought my can of spray glue from, did not tell any of us (in that class) about how dangerous that can of spray glue may be (after she talked us into buying it). I learned that after I got home with it and took the time to read the label. I've had it for years and have been to scared to use it.
Thank you so much for all this new information. I may learn how guilt better and safer (and suffer less pain while doing it). Please stay safe.
Thank you very much for the kind feedback💛 I appreciate it very much… It encourages me! I’m happy you could easily follow along too✅🤓
I wish you were my high school calculus teacher. You were very thorough.
I am awful with numbers lol. Thank you for the compliment 💛✂️🤓
The best idea to baste a quilt I've ever seen!
Thank you ✅💜
Loved watching you use the pool noodles on your quilt.You're a good teacher.God Bless you.
HAPPY VALENTINES DAY.
LOVE YOU
Thank you for the kind words💛
Thank you so much for this wonderful idea wish. Would have known years ago poor back
Oh I know Beverly… So many times crawling on the floor and breaking my back to baste the quilt… Not anymore!👍🏼
@@TheSewingChannel And my knees would hurt so bad at night I just wanted to cry.But not anymore.❤️
I am somewhat new to quilting. I am happy that I find you on UA-cam. You are so easy and calm to listen too-----And understand your directions. Thank you.
Thankyou !! Thankyou!! Thankyou! very informative and impressed of your Genius Love for how to use the four pool noodle
Thanks for the kind feedback Maria💜
This is a good idea! But I bought an area rug the size of most of my quilts, then I lay it, top side down onto my queen size bed and just pin baste away. You can just maneuver the rug round if needed. No sweat! I've done several large size quilts this way.
Great tutorial Tracy
Thank you Nancy💛
One of the most ingenious use of pool noodles that I’ve seen. I love it!!
Thanks Trudy💛 this method has been on the internet for a long time✅ it’s easy for sure!
Your the first channel I have seen actually do a large quilt with the noodles. I have my pool noodles but have not done this yet. I also dislike doing this on the floor. I have a queen size I need to sandwich together. Thanks for the inspiration
I had no clue as to the different sides of the batting! Thank you
You’re welcome!✅💛🤓
This is brilliant!!
I am just blown away at this poodle noodle way to baste my quilt. This is absolute genius. Thank you so much for sharing
You’re welcome!✅ I first saw this technique years ago. I’m so glad it helped🤩
What an awesome idea!
Thankyou!
Woman, you are a gosh darn engineer!
I am super impressed, ang glad that your video showed up in my feed.
😂 lol * I’m glad I showed up in your feed too!!!🤓✅
I just tried the pool noodle method today to do my husbands "man" quilt-holy smacks it was so easy!!! I appreciate you and your genius!!
Thank you so much for coming back on here to let us all know that it totally worked for you!✅
I enjoy your videos they are so helpful to me my mama and aunts quilted I can remember when I was a kid hand quilting with my mom I just wish I would’ve paid more attention
Good tip for knowing which side up the batting is! Great demo with pool noodles too. Thanks
I need to graduate to bigger quilts so I can try this technique!
smart idea! Thanks for the video!
Such a neat answer.
So much easier than what I have been doing! All the binding clips gone I am going to look for pool noodles! Thank you!
@snowdrift Me too! In fact, I have been putting off finishing quilts as I get so frustrated trying to keep wrinkles out. Then, on lifting off the table or floor only to find that the backing puckered up as I was pinning! We buy pool noodles every year for the pool, this year extras for me!
❤ learnt something new, love watching your videos x
You are genial !!!
So glad I found this video.
And of course… I subscribed 🤗
Yay! Thank you!🎉
Brilliant!!!!!
So helpful! Thank you so much!!
What an awesome tip. I'm way too old for those floor basting sessions. I love this.
I’m so happy it was helpful ✅🤓 basting on the floor is horrible!
Going to try out this pool noodle technique sounds so much easier than groveling on the floor.
I'll be trying this tomorrow! Thank you
Brilliant!
Great idea!!!!
Great video. Thank you for presenting. I connect my pool noodles using small lengths (about 10-12 inches) of white plastic irrigation pipe. The pipe is easily inserted or removed when adjusting the overall length of each noodle string. No weakening of noodle end.
I watched a ton of videos about longarm quilting and was in awe about how easy they made basting look - I HATE moving my dining table and spending hours on the hard tile on all fours. I knew there HAD to be a better way - I kept asking my husband about pvc? Something…? Then I found this video! Genius! This is exactly what I had (muddy) in my mind, and now the large quilt I’ve been dreading to baste will be SO much easier. Thank you!!! My back, knees and wrists thank you!!
*_I totally understand what you mean about being on the floor for hours trying to get it right!!! I'm so glad you found the video helpful💛_*
Thank you thank you thank you for putting together this video. I did two quilt tops in the last week, and one was giving me such a hard time. I left it and tried your method on the second one, and got it done in a quarter of the time.
*_Oh that is wonderful sherree5024! I am so happy that it helped you.💜_*
This is BRILLIANT!!
Thx for the kind words 🤓✅💛
Oh my god. I’ve seen tutorials on this before. But they never showed it as in depth as this. Amazing. I just did two quilts and was ready to cry at the last one.
I know all to well about crying while trying to baste my quilts!!!👍✅ I’m so glad you found the video helpful✅💛
Great idea! Thanks so much!
You are so welcome!💛
I am a beginner and I just found you! You are a great teacher, just what I needed !
Welcome to The Sewing Chanel! ✂️✅🤓
Me too!
Welcome!💛
Hello I'm also a beginner, your tutorials are great easily explained even take time to respond and answer questions people have. You've got a natural knack for teaching, thank you so much. I'm less intimidated to give sewing with machine a try. I still remember my grandma sitting on the floor and pinning hers. God bless her determination.
Thank you again 👏
Thank you for the kind words💛 those are wonderful memories of you and your grandma ❤️
Love this idea. Brilliant.
*_Thank you! 😊_*
This is so nice. Going to buy some pool noodles tomorrow. Thank you.

*_Glad it was helpful Stephanie!💛_*
I can wait to start my next quilt! Basting on my floor is always a challenge this will be awesome!

Lovely 👍 you made it I easy
Thanks for watching 💛
Wonderful ideas, thank you
You are so welcome Angela💛
Thank you so much for the video. I, too, remember the days of crawling on the floor to finish basting a quilt. You have wonderful uses for the pool noodles. Can’t wait to stock up on a colorful supply of them for future projects. The utility knife comes in handy for all the unique cuts. ❤️🍀
Excellent method! Thank you!
Great tips!!!!!
OMG! I love your pool noodle ideas. I still have a granddaughter’s quilt that I need to finish. Your pool noodle quilt rolling idea is going to be a great MONSTROUS help!
Thank you!
This is simply amazing!! I love the neat-and-tidy look throughout the whole procedure here in the layering of each piece. This is so easy to do and very structured in laying out and measuring the whole quilt...very very nice! What a superb idea. On my way to buy some noodles. Coming'? LOL!
Amazeballs. Gonna try it today😬😬

Thank you! 😊Glad to see you back in the comment section!!!💛
Thanks for this tip I have sewing for about 10 yrs and didn't know this and the noodles help to😍😜☺😃
Wow what what a great way to of putting your quilt together.
So awesome. Thank you for sharing.😀😀😀
Thanks for the great tips. I am new to quilting and the noodles make doing a large quilt less intimidating. I am going to try using fusiboo bamboo quilting as spray fusing is too hard on my lungs. I think your noodle trick and the fusible batting will work best for me.
Wow I have been using a table a clip method of sandwiching my quilts. There’s no way I can get down on the floor. I haven’t tried the pool noodle method yet but thanks for the clear and concise demonstration and instructions. You’ve given me hope and inspiration.
Awesome video!
Brilliant idea. Must try that. Thank you
You’re welcome!🤓💛
BRILLIANT! I've been quilting (traditional methods) for over 30 years and always dread the basting! This is such a clever idea. THANK YOU!
*_Glad it was helpful! This method has been around for awhile there are still a lot of quilters that don't know about it🤓✅_*
Excellent video! Thank you.
You’re welcome ✂️✅
Thank you so much! I’ve been wanting to try this but had no clue how.
You’re welcome!🤓✂️✅
Wow. I guess I never had a good explanation on how to do this. Thank you!
You’re welcome 🤓✅👍
Brilliant idea!
*_Thank you!_*
Excellent tutorial. I appreciate your thoroughness.
Thank so much!💛
