Basting is a critical preparatory step for machine quilting at any type of sit down machine, whether long arm, mid arm or domestic. It can mean the difference between success and failure in terms of wrinkles or smoothness.
There are 4 common ways to baste for machine quilting:
- thread
- safety pins
- spray
- washable glue
I have pretty strong opinions about some of these - be warned!
Let’s chat!
I have started using school glue to baste my quilts and I have never had better results. It is not stiff or difficult. I use a domestic machine and this is the only way I have found that I don't get a million pleats. I have tried all the other types of basting and this is the best hand down! I am hand quilting a quilt using this method as well. I will admit it is a little difficult if you hit a glob of glue but other than that it is working great
I’d really like to see it in action…do you dilute the glue at all?
@@StitchedBySusan it really works great. I do not dilute it. I use the method that Miriam from the channel Stitch Obsessed uses. Such a fast baste too. I don't think I will ever go to anything else.
Great info. As a sit-down quilter, I find this very helpful and appreciated. Thank you. 💕🧵
So glad!
I also like to use school glue and haven’t had any issues. You can use a sponge brush to smooth out the glue if you have any globs.
Safety pins were my go-to for basting before I bought my longarm a year ago. When I was a youngster my grandmother and I would sit on the kitchen floor and use a grapefruit spoon to lift the points of the pins after poking them through the fabric. A fun memory!
I quilt at my domestic still so this is great
I took a class from Libby Lehman some years ago. She showed us how to baste by hanging up the layers on a wall or design wall. It works really well. Libby used pins or a running stitchThank goodness I have my Q24 now
Fusible batting is another choice. I find it works well on throw size or smaller.
Good point!
?? I love these episodes. Will you talk about using a domestic machine on a frame. I bought a frame and I have my brother pq1500 machine on it. There is quite a learning experience. I’m Trying to learn free motion, but all of these other things keep getting in the way. I have to learn how to work the frame, loading and advancing the fabric, uneven loading, leaders, channel locks, and bungee cords. I just added a regulator. So much to learn. I could write a book. Your video’s are so helpful.
I don’t think I’ll domestic-on-frame specifically as I have no experience there, but many of the learning curves you mentioned are also at a longarm.
Thanks
I was hoping you would give tips to longarm quilters how to baste for the sit-down quilter. I have both types of machines. I thought I was basting well for a sit-down project on the standard longarm but that quilt has pleats and tucks in the back after finishing it on the sit-down longarm. I never have pleats and tucks in the backs of my quilts when I longarm quilt. I have gone back to taping my back to a Costco Lifetime table and pinning followed by basting at my sit-down machine from the center out in all directions, every 3-4 inches. I know, it sounds like I am overdoing it but my backs are perfect and that's the way I like them. However, if I could get the same results from just basting on the longarm, it would save tons of time. Thanks for any words of wisdom and advice.
Good topic….i don’t do much of that, but I’ll try to add it to a discussion and viewers may have good tips👍🏻
I use a mask when I spray tape a flannel sheet on the floor so excess stays on the the sheet. I never cough while using it
Thank you Susan!
I just want to say if you pin while wearing the quilting gloves the pins are so much easier
Good point!
My favorite and only basting method is to use pool noodles. I baste super king size quilt with pins in 1.5 hours
Thank you for that tip!
Missouri Star has a dry powder that works good. You sprinkle it on and press lightly
gun with plastic clips is a nightmare. threw mine away!
Hi from Munich, I'm quilting in a domestic
Good sound today
Good afternoon
Watching later and video still frozen even after rebooting in utube.
Yes…it definitely froze on my streaming app. I opted to finish with sound only because if I exit, I can’t re-enter the same episode. Sorry!
No worries! You handled it like a pro! It takes talent to teach without visuals...and you nailed it!
