How to Sandwich a Quilt on a Table | Step by Step Glue/Pin Baste Method 

Your so cute & funny, I love watching your videos! Thanks for all you do in our community of sewing❤️

Yes 1 year later! I was searching for an easy way to sandwich a quilt. Yours popped up. It was awesome! I had to giggle when you spilled your clips! 😅. Then your finger gets stuck to the can!!! 😄😁😆😁. Same here. My finger got stuck to my very expensive 505 spray, then I spilled my basting pins!!! Thank you for a great video!

Thank you for sharing your method of sandwich-ing your quilt. You are brave to show this using a regular size quilt.

I sandwich mine like you on my cutting table I have used 3 pool noodles before but found it better to do like this for some reason. This is the only part of quilting I don’t like either! So now I feel better watching you!

Thanks you are giving me hope. I am getting too old to crawl around on the floor anymore. Miss Lucille Ball. I love your humor.

Your video is great, going to give your method a try. To save time centering the quilt, I tape a coin to the center of my table, then fold the backing into quarters and place the middle of the fold on the coin, follow the same way with the batting and top. Saves a lot of time.

either magnificent editing or you are a better woman than me, No Cuss words!

I enjoy watching your videos!

I'm finally able to finish watching the rest of your video. That is a beautiful quilt. ❤️ Your cutting board is huge. The baby quilt I made, I sandwiched on the floor. Never again, it was hard getting back up. I had sore muscles I hadn't used in a long time. 😂

I drop my pins on a daily basis- I got a magnetic wand in one of my sew sample boxes from Fat Quarter Shop and it is great for getting my pins up off of the floor!!!

I loved your intro. 😊 I'm hungry for a quilt sandwich. Now to watch the video.

Your so funny!!! Love your videos!!!

Thank you darlin !🌞

Your quilt is beautiful! Thanks for sharing how you spray baste your quilt sandwich and all your tips.

I cannot begin to tell you how much watching you do this helped me. I had the general idea like what you are doing, but since this is my first, I am so glad you shared this for me to see. I actually pinned the top to the batting, but when I was ready to add the backing, I just didn't want to remove and repin (300+) all those pins. Something inside me said there must be a better way. I went and got some spray but wasn't sure where to start.

Love your sandwich. I'll have one please. I've been using King size bed... love the way you do it... glad your showing that it can be done... I would love to see the process of doing on your domestic. Still need help in that area... Thanks Sherri. Love your humour. Take care and have a great day. Hugs

Your quilt turned out great.

When I made the baby quilt, I ended up not having enough backing material to have a 2-3 inch edging, it was right up to the edge. So I sewed a basting stitch around the edge before quilting. It worked but I was stressing. Lessons learnt! Thank you for your videos.

We have so much more in common than just our first names! LOL 🤣😂😅 This quilt is just absolutely gorgeous. You have really done a great job on it. 💛💛💛 Thank you for this video. I now have confidence that I have not been doing it wrong! 😅🤣😂 P.S I love the pool noodle idea. Now i just need to find some. Our local DG doesn't have them anymore. Will have to check out Walmart

I love what you did with your panel…beautiful! I’m 81 on oxygen and sandwiching my quilts is such a big job…but I keep trying! No big quilts for me anymore 😊

Will you show how you quilted it?I can never decide how to FMQ it. Love the fabric!

This is the method I use

Also, have you tried the powder that you sprinkle on and then press with iron? It takes longer than the spray but no nasty fumes. I like it for smaller lap quilts etc.

I have tried spray basting several times and it was a disaster and felt like it took me forever.. I went back to pinning ..

I have really enjoyed watching your process for basting your quilt sandwich on Save the Bees. Do you mind if I ask what you set your tension and stitch length (and any other adjustments you have found need to be made) for free-motion quilting on your Baby Lock Jazz II machine? I have been having the time getting mine set correctly. Thank you so much.

Do you press your sandwich to heat set the glue now? I have wondered if that is a part the process for any brand of spray glue. Thanks for showing the whole process including the real life stuff...pins dropping, spray can sticking etc.

When you spray the bottom fabric, doesn't the glue go through onto the cutting matt or table, etc? I did learn alot from this. Thx, Carolyn

Is that a single cutting mat you have on that table? My table isn't really big enough to do this and I don't like the spray so I have a concocted cardboard layout that fits over my queen bed and I do it all on my bed. I use large clips though to hold everything taught from layer to layer, I've never it done it by smoothing it out. I'd be too afraid it might shift while quilting it. I'll look forward to how you do the quilting.

I saw myself through the whole thing...lol I spray the batting instead of fabric tho

Try putting some weights on the quilt to keep it from sliding off the table.

I sandwich my quilts on my king size bed

I like 505 basting spray

When I spray baste, I have an old bed sheet that I put on the surface of the table. When I spray baste, I tend to skip stitches when quilting, so for smaller projects I don't baste at all. I'm not sure what I'll do with a larger project because I really don't want to pin or stitch baste. Maybe I'll try your basting spray and see how that works.

Don’t you leave more excess batting around the four sides of your backing for the quilting process? Quilting takes up fabric and batting, I have run short of backing and batting when quilting.

I actually quilt my sandwich on my queen sized bed. I saw it sponsored by QT Fabrics. I think it's the quilting traveller or something close. This the least favorite thing in quilting. I have 5 quilts that need sandwich and the whole thing. Lol

Are you quilting this with home sewing machine? Or long arm?

I love your dress. Where did you find it?

This is how I make a quilt sandwich also

Ok I see you did leave extra backing and batting. I hate this part of quilting. I usually have to move the three layers about three times to get it all placed and flat and pinned.

I hate doing that part of my quilts

I’m to old, arthritic and fat to get in the floor anymore!!!
