I really appreciated your video, now to head off to the plumbing supplies to get some poly pipe. This quilt is queen sized so the basting chore will be made so much easier . ❤️👍🇦🇺
This looks to be the easiest and least messy way of tackling this not so favorite quilting task. Great video. Thanks.
Thank You!
Great technique! Thank you 🥰👏!
A jolly bonus was Scot Joplin’s “Maple Leaf Rag” BK music 😂❤️😂
Thank you! Everyone usually has the opposite to say about the music, lol
This is a great idea. You get to smooth each section as you bast without having to smooth the entire quilt first. Great for small spaces!!!!! Thank you for sharing
I am so relieved that I have watched this. I will certainly be trying this for my next quilt which I have been agonising over how to get everything so smooth before I baste it. Thank you!
It really does work well for me, and I love how I can make it as big or small as I need it to be. I have had many comments about the music, it was one of the first videos I made, and I have since learned less is more when I speed up video, I don't use to much music anymore, lol
@@SewingAlchemy The music isn't bad for the fast forwarding part but I was really glad you didn't have it playing while you were talking. I know some people don't mind but I find it distracting in other videos I've watched. I have only completed a baby quilt so far and am getting ready to baste my first large quilt. I will definitely use your method. Thanks so much!
That was a great tute. Thank you so much. Can’t wait to try this. Also nice to listen to the music while we watched. Great choice!
Thank you very much
Hi JoAnn! I’m a new quilter. I’ve watched many many videos on basting. This is by far the best one I’ve seen for larger products. Thank you so much!
Jaye Ring Thank you very much!

Thankyou I am a beginner too you just made my day sending you a big hug
I have that same picture of the little girl with the dog and the same frame too. My grandmother gave me that picture. Thank you for the advice on how to use pvc pipe. I just finished a huge king size quilt and basted it on the floor. After I was done my knees and wrists killed me. I forgot this idea.
I was given that by my sisters mother in law before she passed away, I love it so much! I'm glad you liked the video🙂
@@SewingAlchemy I always admired that picture when I was growing up. So glad I got to have a piece of my grandmother. I miss her.
I use a similar setup but use PVC pipe insulation that I have cut into approximately 1 yd sections, which are easy to store. I tape the sections together with painter's tape so I can add or subtract a section depending on the size of the quilt. I tape the edge of the fabric to the insulation with painter's tape. I agree -- this method works well!
🙂
Thank you for your demo. It was very informative to me,,,,,,and I'm sure many. Awesome. You made it seem so easy. Lou🌷🌷🌷👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🇮🇹
Thanks, I'm planning a follow up that's a little better, maybe less music, lol
This is a great tutorial. I’m inspired to do this technique on my next quilt which is only the second I’ve ever made. I have the table and the pvc pipe and mine’s just a twin size so I should be able to do it. Love the maple leaf rag. Kind of reminds me of the old silent movies. ❤️
Thank You, it's kinda rough it was one of my first videos. It really does work well though. 🙂👍
I would love to see the finished quilt to see how flat the back lays. Thanks
I actually have another video where I quilt that same quilt, it shows the whole thing finished.
Genius! Effective way to control the three layers on your own. Impressive. Regards Alison
I like this idea too, I saw the ones with the pool noodles and that's what I've been using :) I also liked the music :)
Thank you🙂
Thank you for this tutorial. Definitely going to use it, moving forward with my quilt’s. Have a great day.
🙂
Thank you so much JoAnn for showing this it has really helped me
Your Welcome! I am working on an even better version, It should be up in the next couple of weeks. :)
This really saved my a lot of space and thinking! I plan on starting to quilt, I have no experience whatsoever and I've been thinking how to do this bit. Though of course I should start quilting first, haha! Anyways thanks for sharing this! :D Have a good one! :D
That is a piece of cake!!! Who would have thunk it?? Thank you, JoAnn, so much. I don't like using pins but I do have a 4" needle and wouldn't mind actual basting in large stitches. Probably just as easy in the long run. But that PVC Pipe is a fantastic idea and I so appreciate you sharing this with us. Look forward to more videos.
what size PVC did you use? This is awesome and so easy and will not break the bank....thanks
It was 2 inch PVC
I use a huge curved sail-maker's needle for basting
Love this technique. You’re a genius❣️
Thank You very much!! One of my ah-ha moments, LOL
Thank you for sharing!
My pleasure!
for me it is the easiest way to do it perfectly great thanks from algeria
Thank you. I’m trying this for sure! I just have to get a wider table first. My table is small baby quilt size
You can do it on the floor also....
You can also use a portable 4' table to stand next to your small table.
Thank You JoAnn for this Video!! I'm brand New to Quilting. I've Subscribed to your Channel. Will be watching your videos & hopefully will learn New Tips & Ideas from you.
Take Care JoAnn ... Jill 😊 tfs
Thank you, if there's anything you want to learn let me know, I will do my best to help you out.🙂
Hi. Thanks for sharing your tutorial it was a great help.It's something I will try on my next big quilt.
🙂
thanks so much JoAnn. what a brilliant idea! I'll be going to B&Q very soon.
I'm glad you like it!!
Great idea!
Thank you🙂
Brilliant!!!!!! Thank you!!!!
Thank you for sharing! I've been lying awake at night worrying about how I was going to do this!
Hi , I laughed at your comment, it is comforting to know that I am not alone when trying to work out how how to baste a full sized quilt in minimal space.
Great video JoAnn. I will definitely be buying some PVC Piping. I just can't crawl around on the floor anymore, bad knees.
That's just why I came up with it, crawling around in the floor is rough on my old bones.
I like the music! Great video
Thank you🙂
I like the PVC idea. Most of the quilts I make are large and pool noodles just seem like a lot of trouble hooking them together. I don’t have a lot of storage places for long glued together pool noodles.
It's nice because you can put the pieces just about anywhere, and if your just doing a baby quilt you only need one small piece for each layer. It's versatile!
Who thought of this first? It is quite ingenious.
Well, I know there are similar ideas out there, but i think I might have the corner on the PVC method, lol
This is AWESOME thanks
Thank you!!!
Cool ideal a lot wasted your way going to try it thank
Very similar to the method Sharon Schamber used (ruclips.net/video/bhwNylePFAA/видео.html) and I think rather than hand sewing (as Sharon does) or pinning (as you do JoAnn), you could spray baste section by section. Thanks for this! A great way to control the layers on a large quilt and avoid basting on hands and knees.
Great tutorial. I've seen this with pool noodles but using PVC looks way easier to handle.
How far are you spacing your pins?
DR
I'd say about every 12-14 inches
I saw the Pool Noodles video 1st. Glad I saw this video & your comment on the 2 versions. I'm brand New to Quilting & in a wheelchair. So I was trying to find the easiest way for me to do this part. Thank You Ladies, for the Video & for your Comments!! 🤗😊
Do you roll the top from the right or wrong side? Looks like you rolled it on the wrong side and unrolled it from the right side??
You are absolutely right! I thought I had edited that out of the video, I did roll it wrong in the beginning, this video was one of the first videos I had ever recorded, and I was nervous. I rerecorded that, and still managed to put the wrong way in there, I am really sorry for that. I didn't even catch it. I does need to be rolled on the right side. Good Eye!!! I think I will have to make a new version of the video soon. Thank you for bringing that to my attention.
It looks like it will work slick. I’m going to try it.
I think you will be very pleased with the results, I have crawled around on the floor trying to straighten quilts out for years, and this really worked out well for me, it is so easy, and so quick. Please let me know how it works for you, I would love to get your feedback on it.
Great tip. Thanks. But what size diameter pipe did you get. It looks like it might be 40mm to me. Not sure what that is in inches but 1” = 25mm. So is your pipe around 1.5” ?
I do believe the pipe is 2 inch, but you could even go a little bigger, I will double check it. Home depot cut it for me, but you can go with any lengths your comfortable with.
JoAnn Harvey Thank you. Yes please check thanks.
As soon as I know the size I’m ordering it. Such a great idea. I appreciate it because Ive got a stack of tops Ive been reluctant to baste because of getting creases in the layers.
But I don’t think I will be getting any of those once I use your method. I cant thank you enough
I checked and it is actually 3/4 inch pvc pipe, i thought it was bigger than that.:)
Looks great, but why not roll ALL 3 pieces on a single pipe and then pin? That's what my mother did. What are the draw backs?
Wouldn't that mean she has to get the layers laid out flat first and put them together first? That method works good for her, this method just works really well for me.
Liked the video but would suggest that you don’t edit with music as it is very distracting and I always mute and I know you were speaking at times but I wouldn’t hear it because I muted. Also, the other thing i would be really interested in is seeing the back after you basted it to see if there were any bubbles and then the finished quilt so we could see how it turned out.
I completely agree, that was i think the second video I ever made, I have since taken it very easy with the music, lol
I have been strongly thinking about remaking that video, and I have another video where I quilt that actual quilt, but I dont think I showed the back. I can say I had that thing folded up for at least 6 months got it out gave it a shake, and there wasnt one wrinkle on the back. I can post a couple pics on my Facebook channel that's linked on my main RUclips page if you would like.
JoAnn Harvey I am going to be posting videos too and am sort of noticing things and trying to figure out what to do when editing which honestly is the only thing stopping me. I wouldn’t re-shoot but would love to see a picture of the back.
but you will need a large table.....
Can you show us using spray vast. Please
Do you mean spray baste?
yes
There you are trying to talk over the piano. Maybe just turn it down wayyyyyyyy in the background. I beg you.
This was one of the first videos I ever made, I have stopped using music, lol
Tell us your life story...anything...how did you discover this method?
I am planning to reshoot this video, minus the music, I have been working on the courage to blog about myself a bit more.
Nice video, irritating music
I hear that a lot, lol
WILL YOU STOP THE OVERPOWERING MUSIC. I LIKE SCOT JOPLIN BUT ID RATHER LISTEN TO YOU EXPLAIN EVERYTHING YOU’RE DOING. PLEASE.
It was one of the first videos I made, I have learned not to use music, lol. I am planning to remake this video, sorry🙁
Turn down your volume. Problem solved.
Thank you Joann, for taking the time to explain your method. Much appreciated! 😁
I think this is a great method but boy I could do without that awful music!
It seemed great at the time, lol
I love that music but I have heard it on a few videos and I find it very upbeat. Each to their own, but this is I agree, a great method
It’s easy to turn the sound off.
This is AWESOME thanks
This is AWESOME thanks
I am glad you find it useful, it has helped me so much!
