Basting on your longarm.

What?

Basting on your longarm?

That's Crazy? 

Not as crazy as you may think. About 6 month ago I began basting my whole quilt top to the quilt back on the frame. By doing this you will keep your quilt square. Also keep tucks at bay and wavy borders away. Here's a video on how to baste your quilt before longarming.

Once you begin quilting your will remove the stiches in the area that you are quilting in. Do Not take the whole row out. Keep the basting in your borders until you quilt them.

Remember: How does an elephant eat a quilt. One bite at a time.

Later, I will post a video on how to take out your basting as you quilt your quilt.

I hope this helps you with your next quilt.
