How to Baste a Large Quilt - Pin Basting and Thread Basting

I used to only make small quilts because every time I basted a quilt of any size I would end up with a sore back and I thought I didn't have the room to baste a large quilt. I was wrong! I found a much better way to baste any size quilt without hurting my back in the process. In this video I'm going to walk you through a quick demonstration of how I baste a large quilt on an ordinary kitchen table without any special tools. I hope this helps. If you have any additional questions leave me a comment below and I'll try to answer it.

Everyone who quilts at home should watch this very helpful video! Every step is clearly demonstrated and explained. This will help me sandwich the 25 large quilts tops I have which are waiting to be quilted. Thanks so much for the time, thought and effort that went into making this video.

@ThimbleStorm 2 года назад

Omi, I'm so glad this video was helpful for you! I used to really struggle to finish my quilts because I found basting to be so uncomfortable and unmanageable.

@gbyrd1970 Год назад

I don't have as many as you do but I do have several that need to be finished. I'm brand new at quilting and sewing so the whole basting and quilting process still scares me to death.

@bluerockred 2 года назад

An excellent video! It is very help that you used both the small sample, as well as a large quilt, in demonstrating your basting method. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks! I struggle with making my quilt sandwich to prepare for thread basting. I’ll try your marking and rolling mine next time … more than anything, I don’t have a large table … putting a cutting mat under the project to protect the table is a great tip!

I have two folding tables in my basement so i can spread out my quilt and hand baste it. Keeps the back smooth. I use thread ends of spools and bobbins. But i love how you put registration marks to keep it in line. Genius!

I can't express how grateful I am for this video! I am in the process of making a memory quilt. Having never quilted before I have been struggling with trying to make a quilt sandwich. It's queen sized and I cannot get down on the floor. My knees and back will not allow it. You're perfect explanation and demonstration have given me the confidence to do this! Thank you!!

@suzisaintjames Год назад

7:00 if you are basting and not going to use it to snuggle under or sleep with or wash your quilt or hang your quilt before you are done quilting it doesn't really matter how far apart the pins are located. But if you baste and snuggle (or nap) with your quilt and decide to wash it during the quilting the process, spacing does matter. And it depends on your batting... look on the bag. It will say something like... quilt no further than 4-inches apart. And that's the spacing you need to have your basting. Personally, l tie my quilts as the basting (so my toes don't get caught in the basting threads whilst napping) and then quilt as I'm in the mood.l can use it and not worry about washing it. 💖🌞🌵😷

@suzisaintjames Год назад

I tie a quilt exactly the way it's shown in the video, except half way between the stitches, l snip the threads and tie the ends in a knot. I use yarn but that's because l know it's going to get washed several times before the quilting is completed. 💖🌞🌵😷

@FionaPritchard-u6y Год назад

Superb tips, thank you so much. I have a giant hawaiian quilt top in the making, i hand sew everything and was dreading crawling on the floor to baste it. It’s over 10 ft in length and width. I love that i wont need pool noodles or spray baste but can easily handle it without borrowing a friends large lounge floor! Fiona.

@ThimbleStorm Год назад

10 feet? Wow! I think, with a quilt that big, you're going to want to recruit a basting buddy. I wish I could see your Hawaiian quilt! Are you on Instagram?

Fantastic! I'm so glad my video helped. ❤️

@bjsmith1575 Месяц назад

When you thread baste… are there periodic knots to stabilize movement? If not wouldn’t the sandwich pucker? Please advise thank you

@ThimbleStorm Месяц назад

I use anchor stitches or knots at the beginning and end of each thread. You could also add extra anchor stitches throughout if it makes you feel more comfortable. I've never had a problem with puckering because I only thread baste when I'm going to hand quilt. But I think I would have a problem with puckering and bubbles if I machine quilted my thread basted quilts.

@lorrainewilliams7896 7 месяцев назад

Thank you for posting this wonderfully helpful video! And dang is that one gorgeous quilt top.

@crazy4doxies440 Год назад

I think it would be helpful if you flipped it over so we can see the back free basting. Mi pin baste and a lot of times double bat and it is such a pain. Most tables are too thick for the binder clip method and you also need space as well which I don’t have. I’m a fanatic of having no folds or bubbles on the backing because i densely machine quilt.

@Joy-tb1cp 2 года назад

Is this how you would hand quilt your quilt as well by starting each row from the middle out, then moving it to the left n the right on a table?. Beginning At the 8:09 mark on your video.

@ThimbleStorm 2 года назад

When hand quilting I start in the middle and work outwards in a spiral. This prevents tucks and bubbles as you work and keeps your quilt nice and flat. You could also work row by row, but I'd start with the middle row. I hope this helps. Let me know if you have anymore questions! 👍

@alisonmarriott5372 Год назад

Thankyou for this. I’m a novice and I thought it was going to be impossible at first but then it all came together. Now I just need help keeping my cat off it.

@MsJoannj Год назад

Thank you , you just made my day. I have too many quilts that need sandwhiching I was procrastinating getting them done so now I can try your system 😊

@denisewarner8982 10 месяцев назад

I’m new to this and was wondering what basting was.

@ThimbleStorm 10 месяцев назад

Basting is a temporary way to secure your quilt layers for quilting. There are several different methods. In this video I show pin basting and thread basting. Recently I've become very fond of glue basting. It's quicker and easier, but a little bit messier. Hope that helped. I've been planning a free "Absolute Beginner Quilting Course" and I'm hoping to start filming soon. I'm just waiting on some equipment.

@kimberleymcclevis2382 Год назад

I have been quilting for years and always laid it on the floor and hand basted. I have avoided pin basting but watched your video and tried it today on a larger quilt and it worked great. I will never go back to crawling on the floor. No more sore knees!! Thanks for posting

@SanneDeBacker Год назад

Love this technique. Just finished hand piecing my first king size quilt. Getting ready for basting. What kind of thread do you use to baste?

@ThimbleStorm Год назад

I use old polyester thread I inherited from my grandmother. I always try to use a color that won't blend in with the quilt top. That way it's much easier to remove from the quilt top when the time comes.

@elizabethinnb 2 года назад

Thanks for this. It is very helpful. For the first time, I cannot get down onto the floor to baste and I have been searching for some helpful hints to baste using my dining room table.. I was almost there. Your video gave me that last few bits I needed.

Thank you for this. I've basted 3 huge quilts on the floor and it killed my knees, wrists and back. I thought about the pool noodle method, but have not been able to get them yet. I would love to see how you thread basted your quilt. My grandma had a huge wooden quilt frame that was used to quilt on. That was fun, but took up a lot of room.
