The Importance of Being Basted
You're in a rush to get the hand
quilting started. Do you really want to take the time to baste the
three layers or just go for it?
First- BACK AWAY
from the quilt and re-think this. Would you just toss the sheets on
the bed without tucking them in? Would you wear your blouse
half-tucked into your skirt or jeans and expect them to look nice and
smooth?
Basting is a Must what ever
method you use. Basting with needle and thread, safety pins, tailer
tacks..
it's a Necessity!

Working, working.....
I'm working on a mini-tutorial for the blog. I work outside of the house,now, so I don't have the amount of time I used to, so bear with me.
Sign up for updates! I'm trying to start the new year with Making myself sit down and work on this blog.

Also, if there's something you'd like to address, problems with a quilting project, etc, just add it here. I'm sure you'll get the answers from me or someone else!
Thanks for stopping by, I love seeing the 'traffic stats'...:) kb
