- I may be a little too excited about this pin basting hack I figured out! You can baste your quilt with pins by hanging the quilt sandwich up! Cool, right? This quilt has definitely had its challenges, but it's so much fun working on it, and I can't wait to show you how I baste a quilt using pins. Feel free to ask any questions in the comments section!

Destitute are magnetic clamps to hold fabric together. They're great.
You do a beautiful job on all your quilts. After learning how you glue baste. I just finished quilting my first glue basted quilt. Not one pucker! I'm so thrilled with it. Thank you so much❤
Oh awesome! I’m so glad it worked well for you! 👏🏻👏🏻
Giiirl your school glue basting changed my life and I'm never going back lol but this is really helpful incase i ever need to baste anything that can't be washed.
Ikr?! I was really missing my glue basting during this quilt 😂🥴
Me too glue basting added so much to my basket of knowledge
I was thinking this stand you are using could be used to arrange blocks on your quilt top. I don't have a wall that I can useas a design wall. I would hang a sheet on the stand and then pin my blocks to it. That way I could step back and see it better before sewing blocks together. And when I'm done I can take it down and store it for the next time.
Yes! That’s a great idea! 👏🏻👏🏻
If you use a dollar tree vinyl table cloth that has a flannel back, you can stick the blocks to the flannel side and they usually stick, so you can arrange. I do it on a bed
That's the first thing I thought too! Portable as well. This would make a great design board. Great alternative for us folks with knee & back problems!
Hi there !
Just a suggestion from my own experience that worked very good for me:
If you could have another person to help you, you can baste by sewing instead of using safety pins. If you stay in front of the quilt and your hubby/sister/friend/neighbor (?) in the back side, you pass the needle back and forth until it’s all basted. No special skill required to achieve that with a person who does not know to sew anything; just pass the needle !
Much easier and convenient during the quilting process, not to deal with keeping track and removing needles.
And of course the basting thread should be a color easy to see to remove after quilting.
Hope you can use this tip sometime.
Ya know what, I’ve never done stitch basting, and I should try it! Thank you! 💖
I thread baste on my own using a curved needle - the needle hooks in and back out easily. I run the thread directly from the spool, then cut and tie after the line is finished, really speeds up the process.

As another person suggested, you can use curved sewing needle to baste on your own without needing a helper. Your method of having the quilt vertically instead of horizontally is very good idea. I do that using wooden quilting hangers bought from temu.
@@ClaudiaSORBELLO awesome technique! I’ll have to try it sometime! Thank you for sharing 💖
This is a great space saving (and back and knee saving) way to baste a quilt! I prefer thread basting as I batch baste and stash my tops. I love that you/ can reach around the back to check for wrinkles. The photographers frame is a great idea - really convenient and efficient.
Thanks so much for watching! 💖
This is such a great idea!!! Definitely using this when glue isn't an option. I'm so glad I found you!
Yay! So glad you liked the idea, Pam! I was pretty pumped when I realized how well it worked for pin basting! You could "possibly" use with glue basting if you were to "paint" the glue on with a brush? Just a thought...
I really like the stand you're using.
It worked so well!👏🏻👏🏻
Great job I like to see it when it’s quilted beautiful quilt thanks for sharing❣️✂️🪡🧵💖💗✂️
Thank you! 😊
Those hand stamped blocks are just stunning
They are! I love working with unique fabrics 🥰
Great idea! I used to be a photographer and I have one of these stands. Being g 75 yo I dread pin basting on the floor. This method is something I definitely want to try!
Awesome! I was so happy it worked so well!
That is such a good idea, thanks for sharing, big quilts are such a pain when putting together. I have bad arthritic issues so getting down on the floor these days is impossible. Be nice to see the quilt when you have it finished. Or before., while your quilting,
I’ll have a video up later today with the finished quilt! 💖 thank you so much for watching, Karen!
So glad I got to see this video. Love this idea for a woman of 76. Love your videos.
Thank you so much for watching! 💖🥰
I totally ordered this today. I CANNOT with crawling around the floor anymore...I do not have enough floor space, wall space or table space to baste more than a super small throw.....love glue baste for my small projects....but this stand just may work! Thanks for sharing!
Yay! So glad you liked the video, Kim! I was pretty pumped when I realized how well this worked! And I started quilting it yesterday and so far, no puckers and no issues!
Great idea! You could also hang some flannel and use it as a portable design wall. 👍🏻
Yeah! You definitely could! 👏🏻
Clever girl! Your brain is always working 😊
Thanks, Diane! I definitely like to problem solve! 😂👏🏻💖
Next level thinking! That idea might save my table top & my back! ❤
Yay! 👏🏻 yeah, it worked so well; I was so relieved! 😂👏🏻
gorgeous quilt !
Thank you!!!🙏🏻 💖
Great idea, Quilting frame upright! Beautiful Quilt!
Thanks so much!
Thank you for this hack. I just order this stand and hope it works for me. I am a 77- year old with a bad back and bending is a problem. I have been trying for years how to figure a way to do it standing up without big clumsy wood poles that are hard to store when not in use. I did try the glue baste but that also required a lot of bending and did not work for me. I enjoy your videos.❤
I really hope this method works well for you, Sandie! 💖 thank you so much for watching!!!
Clever girl!!! Nicely done!
Thank you! 💖💖
WoW. I love the BLUE Background and backing fabric!! That is so pretty. Can't wait to see the Box meander!! MY FAVORITE of the Meanders!! (Now I just need to practice so I can do it!!). LOL
Thanks, Lena!!! Yes! You’ve gotta try it! It’s so much fun!👏🏻
Great idea, and I really like how you navigated what the quilt needed, instead of just doing what you’re used to doing (glue basting, or pin basting on a horizontal hard surface). It is really good to learn when to problem solve instead of making a mistake and creating a problem (this time, when you protected the large block prints, from washing and pins). Also, could you please post the music link in the description, I would like to hear the whole song, and to know more. Nice editing on this video too. 🙌🏄♂️🌱🌿🍀
Thank you so much for watching! The song is called “Wait Up Sundown” by Arch Tremors 💖
brilliant idea!!!
Thank you!💖
Watching the replay. Very interesting for sure. I have an old curtain rod and clip hooks to hold batting for design wall. Need to baste a table runner so I think I'll try this for sure. It won't be as heavy as a quilt so think it will work. I have clamps that would work to hold it securely. I'm anxious to try it.
Oh awesome! I’d love to hear how it works for you! Thank you so much for watching! 💖
Great job ❤
Thank you! 😄
What a great idea!!
Thank you! 😊
Looks like a cool idea. Thanks for sharing
Thank you for watching! 💖
Thank you so much for your great pinning Tip. Very interesting.
You are amazing and so sweet
Thanks again Mary Lou ❤😊
Aww thank you, Mary Lou 💖💖💖💖
Great idea for pin basting!! That device would also make a great design wall if don't have wall space!!
That's a great idea!
Great fabrics. Your customer will really like the outcome.
I think so too! Thank you, DiAnn!💖
Thank you so much for sharing! This quilt is so gorgeous!! I can't wait to see the quilting!!!❤❤❤
Thank you, Tiffany!!💖💖
Great idea for pin basting. I've been doing mine across 2 folding tables and this looks like it would be so much easier. My husband had one of these stands and the clips can be found at harbor freight.
Yeah! It’s pretty cool how well it worked! Thanks for watching💖
Love it! ❤
Yay!👏🏻💖
Oh my you have been having fun with these fabrics. Good on you !
Yeah! Thank you for watching, Mary!💖
Thank you so much for sharing this..... :) Love ur quilt !! you GO girl....
Thank you so much for watching! 💖🥰
As always, you have found an innovative solution to a problem❤.
I love to problem solve! Haha thank you for watching! 💖
Genius Idea! 💡 I had to order one immediately! This will definitely keep me off the floor to pin baste and save my old knees, lol. Thank You so much for Sharing this- It’s going to be great, I have to two large quilt tops to prep so now I’m actually excited to do them instead of dreading it and procrastinating any longer! ❤😊❤P.S. I’m also planning on using it as a design wall as I don’t have any true wall space to use 😊
Yay! I’m so glad you’re going to give it a try! And a bonus design “wall”!!! 👏🏻💖
Your quilt is stunning!❤
Thank you!🙏🏻 💖
It’s a beautiful quilt.
Thank you! 💖
Looking so pretty.
Thank you, Donna!💖
I have been using this technique for years. I use a clothes hanging rack. My clamps are from harbor freight and my rack is from Walmart. If you get one with rollers you can move it out of the way until you finish it.
Awesome! 👏🏻👏🏻
This is definitely going to be helpful someday ❤
I hope so! I was pretty excited when I realized how well it worked!💖
That frame would make a great design wall also, if you have no room on a wall. ☺ And you can always disassemble it when you don't need it!☺
Yeah! 👏🏻👏🏻
@@StitchObsessed Like you, sometimes I like to think outside the box!😂
You're a sweet genius. 😍
Thank you, Tee💖💖💖
Very innovative. Impressive!
Thank you very much!💖
Brilliant idea!❤
Thank you! 😊
Oh I also use the glue method, along with the clothes rack and clamps.
Awesome!👏🏻
Genius!
Thank you for watching!💖
this is brilliant idea! why didn't i think of this..
HOwever i have a question, how can you ensure the front and the back sorta align? or your under fabric is bigger than the front fabric? thanks!
Yes, the backing fabric (back of the quilt) is larger than the quilt top.
Have you ever used sew tights for basting?
No I haven’t! I’ve never even heard of it! Sew tights? I’ll have to look them up!
You can use those clamps on a table also 😊
Excellent point!👏🏻
What about spray baste adhesive. Something 505 would that have helped you with this sandwich process.
I don’t like spray adhesive, and I would still need to wash the quilt after using that so…pins it is! 👏🏻🤓
You’ve got my brain working overtime. As I’m watching this video, am wondering if I can use this item to help with end to end quilting on my embroidery machine. 🤔
Oooo you might be able to! It wouldn’t hurt to try!?👏🏻🤓
Beautiful quilt and smart solution. Thanks for sharing. How's you craft cottage coming along?❤
Slowly but surely! I’ll have an update video up this weekend! 💖
When pinning, use a teaspoon under the point when you do the pin up.
Thank you for the tip!
@@StitchObsessed You're welcome. I learnt it from Mum.
How is your Shed coming along? Any video updates, I couldn't find any online
I did one video about two weeks ago, and I’ll have another one going up this weekend! 💖👏🏻 it’s coming along slowly but surely!
I like that technique, I hate having to crawl on the floor.
Yeah! It worked surprisingly well!
Would this also work for a design wall? Like Susan mentions, I don't have a wall I can use for one. I could move this around to another room when needed. ??
I don’t see why not! It’s a GREAT idea!
Wonder if anyone knows if a king size quilt would be too heavy for a frame like this to hold? I’d worry that it would ruin my frame 😬
That is a good question! I've hung queen size quilts from this frame and it did fine, but I don't think I've hung up a King size quilt before. (I've only ever made one king sized quilt LOL!) The quilt that I was working with in this video is a 70" x 70" and is quite heavy, and the frame had no issues whatever. I guess it would have to be a "try it and see" situation.
Auto speller changed the word Sew Tites to Destitute on my last comment. Sew Tites are magnetic clips to hold fabric in place instead of glue or pins.
😂😂 hurray for auto correct! And that’s so interesting! I’m going to look those up!
Sew Tites are good for a small piece. But for a large quilt it good be costly.
You’re making a quilt that can’t be washed?
It can't be washed in a washing machine. My client can wash it by hand, but since I'm using those hand stamped/painted blocks, it can't go in a washing machine.
They are probably polyester not cotton. Polyester stretch’s and I hate using it. It frays also. I have made a quilt out all African prints and was beautiful
They are out of the stands
