OK Ladies! Due to your encouragement, I'll put the quilt in a hoop this
weekend and let you know how it goes!

Thanks!

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.
