I hate basting my quilts.
Haaaaate it. Even with spray-basting, it's tricky to do.
So before I spray-basted my three quilts today,
I threw myself at the mercy of the Google gods.
(I dunno. I pictured GoogleGod as nerdy-er.)
And, lo! I was led to Chasing Cottons, where the delightful and helpful Kristie
had posted a tutorial, which included this super idea:
Use hand weights to hold the batting in place whilst the other layers
are being centered and smoothed!
Sooo much easier and better!
I used to use both masking tape and unwilling children,
and neither of them was satisfactory:
the tape kept popping up, and the kids kept trying to wander off.
Hey, you kids! Get back here! I still have two more quilts to do!
So head on over there to see her full tutorial;
if you're a quilter, you won't be sorry!
