Bravo. I've always grovelled around on the floor to baste larger quilts, it never occurred to me to use binder clips. Genius! And I love the tip about leaving the safety pins open to the end. Makes perfect sense!

" THIS!! I pin baste also and sometimes use the same method you use and sometimes use long thing boards (2x4's??) that I had hubby find for me. I roll the back and front and then just place the batting and unroll as I go. My island is my go-to place for this because it's higher up than a standard table.Becky (My Fabric Obsession)https://www.blogger.com/profile/09264800140397196483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7219691809988138892.post-24012184114094188032016-02-12T13:46:12.253-05:002016-02-12T13:46:12.253-05:00Thanks for this great tutorial!
