I safety pin baste my quilts first, then hand baste between the pin rows,
then hand quilt. I like how the material stays in place.

Natalie,

Before I knew any better, I pin basted a quilt for hand quilting. Now that
I
know better, I'll probably do the same thing again ;-) Pin basting is
soooooo
much easier IMHO than thread basting. And the pins really didn't get in
the way
of the hoop all that much. No prob to move one or two.

learned that hand quilting needs to be basted with thread (b/c of the
