Three years later and your video is still helping people. I am a new quilter and working in a very small space...on a 2' X 5' table (or my bed ) and this video was so very helpful. I can't thank you enough for sharing this trick with others.
Thank you so much for your video. I couldn't imaging how a POOL NOODLE could help me to quilt. It's better than the spray by a long shot, and better than kneeling on the floor to pin the layers together. Wow. Love it!!!
Started using pool noodles a couple of years ago and it changed the whole quilting experience. I bought a piece of dowel at the hardware store to extend the noodles, and I also use basting spray. Now, it takes less than 30 minutes to sandwich a quilt, and I don't end up with so many UFO's!
This is awesome. I have cats and this helped me to complete my quilt sandwich quickly without spending much time chasing cats or watching them watch me through the cat gate... lol. Also an awesome way to store my quilt sandwich until I complete the quilting on it! Thank you!!!
What an elegant solution that means that I don't have to do this on my floor. I am doing this for the first time and LOVE LOVE LOVE this approach!!! Now to the pool supply!!
Could have fooled me too. The video is so well organized. I will be able to layer small and large queen size or twin size quilts. I am currently making 4 twin size quilts for the last of my great grandchildren. I have been dreading layering the twin quilts and baby quilts. Now I'm excited to get started.
Your suggestion to use a pool noodle for making the quilt sandwich is awesome. It's light weight and rolls up reasonably small for better fit in my home sewing machine. (I usually roll my entire sandwich on one pool noodle.) Also, I agree with Irma Gonzalez's point about no distracting music in the background. I understand that noise is part of recording, but I really dislike added music for the sake of I don't know what. Background music often makes hearing the speaker much more challenging for me, so thanks for not putting it in. Hope others will follow your excellent approach. Please keep posting videos.
Very helpful video... right to the subject... no time wasted in the demo. Should do more. This will not only save my knees, but my sanity!! Thank you!!
This is a FANTASTIC idea!! I agree....no distracting music or noise, and I could hear you very clearly. Your instructions were very clear as well, and I have added your video to my very first QUILTING folder to save for later so I can see it again. I've been quilting for many years, and I have done so much of this on the floor, but it's hard to get it all smoothed out that way. So, thank you for this great idea!
I have struggled with this step of quilt making for years. Thanks to your tutorial I know I will be able to do this on my own. Thank you for showing me how.
As a beginner quilter I'm glad I came across your video early. Have had trouble with limited space getting this right so it will how I do my next project. Thanks so much.
This is your first video? You seem like you have been doing this a long time. No distracting music, you speak clearly and you were very organized. Great job. Love the idea of the pool noodles. Thank you!
Oh my gosh, I wish I would have seen this yesterday. It took me forever to sandwich a twin sized quilt and not to mention my back pain afterwards. This would have been so much faster and less painful on my back.. Thank you for this video. I'm going to try it on my next quilt sandwich.
Thank you so much. I’m a beginner quilter and finding it fiddly to sandwich, especially with a small workspace. I don’t like laying my work on the floor. This is so clever and very neat ❣️❣️❣️
This video has rocked my world!!! How could I not know this technique?!?!?!? I have been quilting for 25 years and I have struggled getting all 3 layers all spread out either on the floor (knees won't do that anymore!) or trying to find a table big enough!! Now I can do this and it will be so much easier!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing this!!!! This is going to change my life!!!!!
I just bought my pool noodles today. My knees are getting too old to crawl on the floor, not to mention getting up off floor lol. I’m doing mostly small donation quilts now, so this should be just what I need !! Thanks for the inspiration!!
So clever. Thank you. Enjoy your calm,clear presentation. Helpful suggestions about which pins and where to place them. Kind of exciting to see you unroll the separate parts and how easily the sandwich is created by this method. Awesome.
What a great idea! I've never seen this used but I knew pool noodles were handy for things. This would be especially nice for someone with a smaller work table. Thank you for this tutorial and the great idea.
Thank you very much. This is a very handy tip. I’m a new quilter and have just finished my first quilt. It was a baby quilt but your little tip will come in handy for my next quilt. You did a wonderful job explaining the process.
Very nice video! You're a natural! I'm getting back into quilting after 25 years of not! I love this method! I can't tell you how many hours I spent on my hands and knees basting quilter together so I could eventually hand quilt them on my lap in a hoop!! Oh the modern conveniences we have these days!! Thanks for sharing this method again.
Hi, I took a very long break from quilting and it’s certainly changed a lot. No rotary cutters when I started in the mid 70s. My first quilts were hand pieced (no machine) and quilted in a hoop. I loved it back then, but no patience for that now. I don’t recall how I sandwiched large quilts back then, but the pool noodles are so helpful, even for little ones. Good luck.
@@peterrosenfeld3053 hey Peter, I recall how I sandwiched quilts, on my hands and knees with babies around between diapers and feedings!! Oh and the cutting, definitely with scissors.......one piece at a time!!
I loved this! I am disabled and have a hard time getting around my fabric & table, this is going to help me so much in putting my quilts &whatnot together ! ❤❤❤❤
I wish I had seen this video last week! I've fought the battle of sandwiching my first quilt this week...queen size. Oh my this has made me think... Never again, until now! So helpful!! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much! I appreciate your time on this matter because I almost decided not to make a quilt for my mom. But you have given me the courage to attempt it. how so appreciate all the other little advice that I found in your video especially the one that I've heard about not getting the pins from the dollar store thank you again
@@sarahfrock9651 Sarah, I just watched the video again after seeing your comment. If you scroll down a little you will see a comment directing you to click on it and it will take you to the same video with better sound. I hope this helps you. I like to click on the cc at the bottom of the video and then I can read along with the person who is speaking. My hearing isn't what it used to be.
Thank you Sabina, for showing us how to use pool noodles to baste a quilt. I have two quilts to be sandwiched, basted and quilted and I will try it this way. Very enjoyable, and to the point. Hope you make more tutorials.
Thank you for this awesome tutorial. It was great and also love that there is no distracting music or noise in the background. You sounded like a pro. Congratulations on your first video. 😊
Thank you! I too am getting too old for floor crawling. I have a long dining table that will work swell for me. Also, I use a tacking gun with a plastic grid guide. Your video was right on. So clear and concise. I’m glad I was able to join the other quilters who commented. Thanks again.
This was wonderful for me to see. It solved a problem I have been dealing with trying to get quilts basted on my own on my kitchen table. Thank you so much.
This is brilliant! Gotta love pool noodles. Thank you for sharing! Added note...if you remove the selvage from the backing fabric, you won’t have any wrinkles.
Wow. This is the best method I have seen.....thank you soooooo much. I will be at the dollar store tomorrow. And passing this on to my Quilting buds. Thank you so much,,,,,Claudia.❤️🇺🇸🇮🇹
Newbie quilter here & I want to say Thank you Thank you Thank you!! The pool noodles are being clearanced at the dollar stores & I better get down here & grab some!! This looks a lot easier than what i was doing & no more air bubbles!!!!
I have made a few small quilts and always had a difficult time getting them together, so I sent my big project, a queen size bed quilt, to have it sandwiched and quilted for me. Cha-$$$-Ching!!!! That turned me off to quilting. But now my daughter sent me a bunch of t-shirts, from when her now adult kids were in little league, and asked me to make her a memory quilt. How could I say no?? Your video, the way you explained and demonstrated your technique with the pool noodles looks like it is going to take a lot of stress and be pretty easy to sandwich this quilt and make my whole process much simpler. THANK YOU for your time in making this video and showing us your process.
Hi, Cherrell - making the sandwich this way is super easy, however, working with a large quilt is not. I’m not a free-motion quilter, just simple in-the-ditch or straight lines, but even these simple lines are way too difficult for me on anything larger than say 60 x 40. So while I’m glad this trick may solve your lay out and sandwich making, I can’t say that managing such bulk will be any easier when it comes time to quilting. Wishing you luck with ALL your projects. Sabina
Absolutely brilliant! Buying noodles tomorrow to finally finish son's quilt. And about 5 other quilt tops. I HATE making a quilt sandwich! This looks to be a neat easy way! Great video!
Thank you for your video. I have less than a year under my belt in quilting. I am self taught by books and RUclips videos like yours. I have struggled with a few quilts I have already completed. Your idea is wonderful. I am excited to try it.
I loved your video. I am now in a wheelchair and unable to get down on the floor to sandwich a quilt any longer. My daughter just bought me a rolling cutting table recently and this method will work perfectly in the limited space I have available. Thank you for sharing.
Fantastic idea, well represented. Tomorrow I am going to buy 3 noodles. I also like the fact that there is no distracting music that makes me watch the video 2 or 3 times. Great job, looking forward to seeing more. thanks for showing us.
Great idea, thanks! Excellent job for your first video! When pinning layers together I use a regular teaspoon from my table service, slip the edge under the point of the pin as you're bringing it up thru the layers and it goes thru the layers and slides up the pin so much easier & faster. Saves your fingers too. Takes a tiny bit of practice with first few to "get in the rhythm" but worth it.
I am sorry I didn't see this sooner. You did an excellent job of showing and explaining the process of layering. You made it look so Easy, I will definitely try this. THANK YOU AGAIN.
What a great idea! I can't wait to try it! I was going to suggest buying all the items you use at the Dollar Tree for folks like myself on a tight budget, despite your comment not to buy them there... they carry the noodles, pins, and placemats. For under $10 you could purchase all the necessary supplies. I am so excited to finish my completely hand sewn quilt to and try this.
I like this method. I don’t have the floor space to layer a quilt of any size plus my back no longer goes for getting up and down off of the floor. Great to do on a table. I’m saving your video. Thank you for sharing this skill.
Loved your video. I have been using a similar method with lengths of 4”x4” timber. Pool noodles look much kinder, lighter and softer to work with. Never would have thought to change my method but I will be heading out to grab some today. Great first video, would not have known as it was very professional and easy to watch. 👍
I am brand new to quilting and this is the best method I have seen. I don't have much table or floor space for the sandwiching part. This may be a game changer for me. Thank you so much!!
Thanks. One thing I should mention: leave at least 2 " extra backing and batting on all 4 sides. When you lay out the quilt top put it about an inch away from the bottom edge. Good luck. Quilting's a great hobby!
I hate this part of quilting so much! Thank you for this wonderful tutorial. I tried it and it made the whole experience much more tolerable! Great video!
Thank you. You should do more videos of "how to..." as you are clear in your instructions and really easy to follow. I am about half-way through making a quilt and I was dreading trying to baste it to quilt it. I am off to see if I can find pool noodles as you have shown how easy it is to put the whole quilt sandwich together by using them.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I have been a piecer until now and have several small quilt to be finished. I did send out one bigger quilt to be done by a LAQ. It was expensive. This has been so helpful. Clear and very easy to follow.
I used this method on a quilt that was 78 x 98 and while the rolling and pinning went well, I ended up sending the quilt to a long-armer because I couldn't handle the bulk on my small machine. It's way easier than getting down on the floor or flaying the layers out and trying to get them centered. Good luck!
This method is totally new to me. Your video was super helpful. You filmed in a way that was t gave good visibility of what you were doing, you speak clearly and in a friendly encouraging way, but without going off on tangents and confusing us. Well Done Ma'am !
What a great presentation! Succinct yet detailed. You’re a lovely teacher. A while ago I saw a video about using pool noodles to create a quilt sandwich but the person rambled so and the teaching was a bit confusing. Congratulations on your first video!
I’m doing my first quilt, started three weeks ago with hand sewing. I’m maybe four months from this stage. This was extremely helpful to a very inexperienced learner. Thank you very much
Thank you so much for taking the time to put together this video. I live in a very small house so seeing a way to sandwich a quilt in a very small space is a life saver!
Your video is so clear with perfect visual & spoken instructions. Been hand quilting since the '60s, this 1 video has made my life so easy and effortless. Thank you
I never thought of that and I am tired of getting on the floor. That is an awesome idea. Great tutorial. I agree with the others, it is nice no music so I could hear you and you speak clearly and I found it very easy to follow. I saved this to my quilting area so I can watch again. I am going to see if you have other videos. Thanks again!
I was amazed how this method works. Thank you for sharing. You first video was great. I learned a lot and you were very through! I will try this method soon.
Brilliant and so simple and affordable. I was using wooden boards but they are not long enough and so heavy. This is such a great idea!!! THANK YOU so much for sharing.
Thank you - you are a wonderful instructor. Your directions are clear and concise. I know I'll be watching this one again. I can't get down on the floor and was getting concerned about how I was going to be able to sandwich my quilt at home. So, thank you. (Now if you'd just move in next door or something so I could run over and ask you questions.......) I also lover your radios.
Hi, Beverly. Thanks. I just pinned a 40 x 60 quilt and my back STILL hurt, but not my knees! Ask me questions anytime. My husband is a radio buff. Have a nice day.
First of all, congratulations on your first video Great job! You have saved my back, my knees, and whatever parts of my 70 year old body that does not want to crawl around the floor making quilt sandwiches! I cannot thank you enough for this fabulous procedure which I plan on using quite a bit Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!!
Thank you for sharing - definitely a very easy way to control the layers - easier than trying to keep the quilt from slipping off the table - used to tack on the floor as well but then the family tend to walk across the quilt, we’ve come a long way since the days of the large quilting frames taking up most of our living room - happy quilting 🌟
Thank you for sharing noodle quilting. Wonderful idea. No one would know this was your first video. Smooth and clear start to finish. Awesome. Have a blessed day. Kaye
This was excellent! I loved the tutorial, and was really surprised when you said that this is your first video. Don't change your style. This is a winner!
What a great idea for when you're limited with space- as I bet a lot of us are, lols. I often don't even have floor space available, in our tiny tiny house. I love it! Thanks for sharing that, it was very straight forward and practical.
wow AMAZING.... I am a new quilter and I had such a HARD time sandwiching my last middle sized quilt..... this is gonna help me sooo much... I hope you make more quilting videos coz this video just got you another subscriber (me). thank you so much for sharing this with all of us. Wow, simply GENIUS !!! God bless..
Thank you so very much! You solved my dilemma and made my day! I have been wrestling with this for quite awhile. You are a clear, concise, communicator. I am hoping you will continue with your instruction on quilting! Hand quilting that is.
This was a really neat video! I will have to try. Currently I go over to a club that I’m a member of, and climb all over the floor. This looks much easier. Thanks for sharing it!
What an amazingly simple idea! I have such a problem getting everything centered correctly while making "quilt sandwiches" and I've had to unpin and start over more than once over the years. I can see this technique taking a lot of frustration out of the process. Thanks for sharing!!
WOW !!!!!! This is the first time I have seen or heard of this method. I'm so excited to layer several small quilts that have been waiting to be layered for a long time. Your video is truly awesome. Thank you so much for sharing. I'm off to the store to buy some pool noodles. Also some dowels for using with larger quilts.
I think you have just saved a bunch of people THOUSANDS of dollars...myself included. I was thinking about getting a mid-arm or long-arm machine, simply because I was so sick of the cumbersome process of basting and all the puckers my final products would get because I couldn't pin it 100% correctly. Thank you for your wonderful and clear tutorial.

This is awesome. I have cats and this helped me to complete my quilt sandwich quickly without spending much time chasing cats or watching them watch me through the cat gate... lol. Also an awesome way to store my quilt sandwich until I complete the quilting on it! Thank you!!!
My cat also loves to HELP me!
What an elegant solution that means that I don't have to do this on my floor. I am doing this for the first time and LOVE LOVE LOVE this approach!!! Now to the pool supply!!
Good luck!
What a wonderful way to do a sandwich when minimal tabletop space is available. Thanks so much for doing the tutorial!
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! I’ve only ever had a small space to make quilts and this is BRILLIANT!!!!!
Your first video???? You could have fooled me! This is a brilliant idea! Thank you so much for sharing.
Thanks!
Great idea, I think I will be doing in my own table now...don’t have to get a bigger table... thanks...
Could have fooled me too. The video is so well organized. I will be able to layer small and large queen size or twin size quilts. I am currently making 4 twin size quilts for the last of my great grandchildren. I have been dreading layering the twin quilts and baby quilts. Now I'm excited to get started.
I agree such a pro
Great idea well-demo'd! No aerosol, and no crawling about!

I just went out and purchased every noodle the dollar store had!! :-D

Great idea, thanks! Excellent job for your first video! When pinning layers together I use a regular teaspoon from my table service, slip the edge under the point of the pin as you're bringing it up thru the layers and it goes thru the layers and slides up the pin so much easier & faster. Saves your fingers too. Takes a tiny bit of practice with first few to "get in the rhythm" but worth it.
Someone else suggested a device called a Kwik Klip to help with this process. I’ll give the spoon a try next time. Thanks for the suggestion.
I am sorry I didn't see this sooner. You did an excellent job of showing and explaining the process of layering. You made it look so Easy, I will definitely try this.
THANK YOU AGAIN.
What a great idea! I can't wait to try it! I was going to suggest buying all the items you use at the Dollar Tree for folks like myself on a tight budget, despite your comment not to buy them there... they carry the noodles, pins, and placemats. For under $10 you could purchase all the necessary supplies. I am so excited to finish my completely hand sewn quilt to and try this.
Hi, I just had a hard time using the Dollar Tree pins. They were really flimsy. Noodles and placemats, great place for sure. Good luck>
Pretty doggone clever! Excellent video skills too! I am forwarding this to my Quilting Circle. Thanks very much for sharing.
I like this method. I don’t have the floor space to layer a quilt of any size plus my back no longer goes for getting up and down off of the floor. Great to do on a table. I’m saving your video. Thank you for sharing this skill.
Thanks. Stay well.
Loved your video. I have been using a similar method with lengths of 4”x4” timber. Pool noodles look much kinder, lighter and softer to work with. Never would have thought to change my method but I will be heading out to grab some today. Great first video, would not have known as it was very professional and easy to watch. 👍
I am brand new to quilting and this is the best method I have seen. I don't have much table or floor space for the sandwiching part. This may be a game changer for me. Thank you so much!!
Thanks. One thing I should mention: leave at least 2 " extra backing and batting on all 4 sides. When you lay out the quilt top put it about an inch away from the bottom edge. Good luck. Quilting's a great hobby!
@@sabinarosenfeld6713 Thank you for the advice. I certainly have the bug for it now. I have so much to learn, but I'm up for the challenge.
This is very helpful advise. No more taping the layers to the dining room floor...lol. I am off to the Dollar Tree for pool noodles.

You think they still have them this time of year? I could several myself! Lol.
An update. I did already use this method. Oh my goodness. 100% easy to use this method. Easier to pin! I am sold on this way if sandwiching a quilt.
I hate this part of quilting so much! Thank you for this wonderful tutorial. I tried it and it made the whole experience much more tolerable! Great video!
Very helpful. Great tip using placemat also. TFS
Congrats on first one; I hope to see others. It's always great to learn from other quilters.
I’m working on another one about setting blocks on point. Thanks.
Thank you so much for sharing this amazing idea with us. This will change my life. Riding the sandwich now will be pleasurable. Kisses.
Thank you. You should do more videos of "how to..." as you are clear in your instructions and really easy to follow. I am about half-way through making a quilt and I was dreading trying to baste it to quilt it. I am off to see if I can find pool noodles as you have shown how easy it is to put the whole quilt sandwich together by using them.
If you can't find pool noodles, you can use pipe insulation. I had some on my table, but forgot to show it.
The pool noodles look like a great way to either transport (to a class) or even store them! Your first video deserves MANY more!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I have been a piecer until now and have several small quilt to be finished. I did send out one bigger quilt to be done by a LAQ. It was expensive. This has been so helpful. Clear and very easy to follow.
I used this method on a quilt that was 78 x 98 and while the rolling and pinning went well, I ended up sending the quilt to a long-armer because I couldn't handle the bulk on my small machine. It's way easier than getting down on the floor or flaying the layers out and trying to get them centered. Good luck!
Thank you for the video with pool noodles to help with making the quilt sandwich. Very helpful 😀
This method is totally new to me. Your video was super helpful. You filmed in a way that was t gave good visibility of what you were doing, you speak clearly and in a friendly encouraging way, but without going off on tangents and confusing us. Well Done Ma'am !
What a great presentation! Succinct yet detailed. You’re a lovely teacher. A while ago I saw a video about using pool noodles to create a quilt sandwich but the person rambled so and the teaching was a bit confusing. Congratulations on your first video!
I’m doing my first quilt, started three weeks ago with hand sewing. I’m maybe four months from this stage. This was extremely helpful to a very inexperienced learner. Thank you very much
Brava!!! Thank you from.the bottom of my aching back!!! This is brillant!! Well done!!!
You did a great job! Very clear, concise instructions, and thank heavens, NO annoying music. Wonderful. Keep them coming.
Thank you so much for taking the time to put together this video. I live in a very small house so seeing a way to sandwich a quilt in a very small space is a life saver!
Your video is so clear with perfect visual & spoken instructions. Been hand quilting since the '60s, this 1 video has made my life so easy and effortless. Thank you
Thanks Ruth. Glad it’s helpful.
Quilting for several years, cannot wait to try this!
I never thought of that and I am tired of getting on the floor. That is an awesome idea. Great tutorial. I agree with the others, it is nice no music so I could hear you and you speak clearly and I found it very easy to follow. I saved this to my quilting area so I can watch again. I am going to see if you have other videos. Thanks again!
Jody, glad you liked it and wish you success. I don’t have any other videos. Maybe one of these days …
I was amazed how this method works. Thank you for sharing. You first video was great. I learned a lot and you were very through! I will try this method soon.
Brilliant and so simple and affordable. I was using wooden boards but they are not long enough and so heavy. This is such a great idea!!! THANK YOU so much for sharing.
Well done. Clear and concise. Thank you
Thank you - you are a wonderful instructor. Your directions are clear and concise. I know I'll be watching this one again. I can't get down on the floor and was getting concerned about how I was going to be able to sandwich my quilt at home. So, thank you. (Now if you'd just move in next door or something so I could run over and ask you questions.......) I also lover your radios.
Hi, Beverly. Thanks. I just pinned a 40 x 60 quilt and my back STILL hurt, but not my knees! Ask me questions anytime. My husband is a radio buff. Have a nice day.
I will surely try this on my next quilt. Thank you for a clear tutorial.
Thank you for presenting this demonstration in a professional manner. You were well organized, clear and precise. Congratulations on a job well done.
thanks and good luck
Oh my gosh! This is such a great idea! I can't wait to use this method. Thanks for sharing.
First of all, congratulations on your first video Great job! You have saved my back, my knees, and whatever parts of my 70 year old body that does not want to crawl around the floor making quilt sandwiches! I cannot thank you enough for this fabulous procedure which I plan on using quite a bit Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!!
Clear and precise tutorial🧵
Bravo👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you for sharing - definitely a very easy way to control the layers - easier than trying to keep the quilt from slipping off the table - used to tack
on the floor as well but then the family tend to walk across the quilt, we’ve come a long way since the days of the large quilting frames taking up most of our living room - happy quilting 🌟
Thank you for sharing noodle quilting. Wonderful idea. No one would know this was your first video. Smooth and clear start to finish. Awesome. Have a blessed day. Kaye
Really good job. Easy to understand, well illustrated. I kept noticing the beautiful wood in the table and the radio. Bonus eye candy for me.
Thanks! Have a nice day.
Great tip. Thank you for sharing. Blessings from Ohio.
I like to say thanks for your wonderful advice on how to keep my quilt to gather when quilting it makes it so easy to work with. Thank. You. Thank you
This was excellent! I loved the tutorial, and was really surprised when you said that this is your first video. Don't change your style. This is a winner!
What a great idea for when you're limited with space- as I bet a lot of us are, lols. I often don't even have floor space available, in our tiny tiny house. I love it! Thanks for sharing that, it was very straight forward and practical.
wow AMAZING.... I am a new quilter and I had such a HARD time sandwiching my last middle sized quilt..... this is gonna help me sooo much... I hope you make more quilting videos coz this video just got you another subscriber (me). thank you so much for sharing this with all of us. Wow, simply GENIUS !!! God bless..
Thank you, Mary!
you are welcome.. God bless..@@peterrosenfeld3053
Thank you so very much! You solved my dilemma and made my day! I have been wrestling with this for quite awhile. You are a clear, concise, communicator. I am hoping you will continue with your instruction on quilting! Hand quilting that is.
This was a really neat video! I will have to try. Currently I go over to a club that I’m a member of, and climb all over the floor. This looks much easier. Thanks for sharing it!
You're a terrific instructor. And I so appreciate no background music.
A realy helpful way to get it done! Thanks so much.
What an amazingly simple idea! I have such a problem getting everything centered correctly while making "quilt sandwiches" and I've had to unpin and start over more than once over the years. I can see this technique taking a lot of frustration out of the process. Thanks for sharing!!
Great job! Very easy to follow and understand.
WOW !!!!!! This is the first time I have seen or heard of this method. I'm so excited to layer several small quilts that have been waiting to be layered for a long time. Your video is truly awesome. Thank you so much for sharing. I'm off to the store to buy some pool noodles. Also some dowels for using with larger quilts.
Thanks,
Very helpful video. I hope you make more videos. Very good teacher. Thanks!
I think you have just saved a bunch of people THOUSANDS of dollars...myself included. I was thinking about getting a mid-arm or long-arm machine, simply because I was so sick of the cumbersome process of basting and all the puckers my final products would get because I couldn't pin it 100% correctly. Thank you for your wonderful and clear tutorial.
Wow. Hope you get a chance to try it. Works for me.
