I have a Singer Touch and Sew Vintage (1966) sewing machine set to stitch the chain stitch. Then I chain stitch my backing top and bottom and the bottom of my quilt top to the leaders. When done, all I do is pull the thread and it releases. Similar to basting to the leaders but faster to remove.

This is one of the best training videos so far. The camera views have greatly improved.

Hi Kim and Kristina. It was so nice to meet you both and Kelly in person a couple weeks ago at the long arm retreat. Keep these great tutorials coming. You are very talented ladies.

Many thanks for great tutorial. Just discovered advantages of basting following small disaster and resulting picking out! I will take on board your tips for larger stitches and contrast thread + taking out before you stitch the area!

I don't have a machine that does a chain stitch, but I use a heavy top-stitching thread (in red) in the bobbin when I baste my backing/quilt to the leader, using a 6mm stitch length. I also let the bobbin be a little tight and the top thread a little loose. The red thread pulls right out of a small quilt; the bobbin thread may need to be cut in 3 or 4 places for a large quilt and pulled out in pieces.

Hello from North Carolina

@kthybrown007 Месяц назад

Don't forget to look between the backing and batting each time you advance, especially if you are using a light colored backing ... it is a pain to end up with a bright or dark thread trapped between.

@HandiQuilter Месяц назад

So true!!!

@luisanasawyer2855 Год назад

I know this tutorial has been out for a bit, but I just got my Amara and was wondering how to do the back n’ forth. I have a wall hanging that really requires quilting from the middle out. Thank you for such clear instructions!

@HandiQuilter Год назад

Glad I could help!

@boondockcrafters2636 2 года назад

How to baste on a sit-down or Mid-arm? I haven’t worked my way up to a long arm yet. I have the HQ Sweet 16. Also, thanks for all the wonderful tutorials, love watching!

@kristinawhitneyhqstudioedu7013 2 года назад

I generally baste on the floor before taking my projects to a stationary machine.

@pamelaanderson4211 2 года назад

I chainstitch my backing to my zipper leaders. Just pull one thread to take it out. I think most coverlock machines can chainstitch.

@happytraveller8953 Год назад

Hey all, another basting question: would you baste the entire quilt top if you are doing an edge-to-edge design or is that not necessary?? Thanks!

@HandiQuilter Год назад

Only baste within the throat space doing an edge to edge. Once you advance the fabric, you will baste the next throat space, stitch, advance, and repeat.

@betsyercolini8724 2 года назад

Great video! I do have a question about the thickness of the quilt on the belly bar, after it's been rolled back. Does that thickness on the bar affect the stitching at all? Seems like, depending on the quilt size, the top could be quite a lot higher than usual. Thanks for the info!

@kristinawhitneyhqstudioedu7013 2 года назад

The thickness on the belly bar doesn't affect the stitching. I keep the top pole in place so that it keeps the quilt top level.

@happytraveller8953 Год назад

OK, newbie here so apologies if this is a dopey question. If you are supposed to thread baste your quilt top down the sides of the quilt to stabilize it while you do your horizontal stitching, how do you adjust the quilt top or sandwich to keep it even with the dry erase mark you made on the quilting tape?? Once the quilt is basted down the sides, would you have to pick out the basting and re-adjust or re-align the top and then baste it down again??? Gosh, that's a lot of work...thanks in advance.

@HandiQuilter Год назад

The basting down the sides is done to keep the quilt lined up. The adjustments are made to line it up with the marking on the centering tape prior to doing the basting. Once the basting is done, you do not need to do any further adjusting.

@barbarakempen2482 2 года назад

I like the idea of the centering tape. How did you glue it on?

@kristinawhitneyhqstudioedu7013 2 года назад

Double sided tape.

@barbarakempen2482 2 года назад

Would I like to see you put the clamps on. I appreciate you smoothing the back Pole. I'll have to remember that.

@alexandrawellington8028 2 года назад

Awesome information. All your videos are so helpful. I have just ordered an Amara 20. With the glide foot on will it stop the potential for the edges of the quilt, once basted, from getting flipped and quilted down onto the top? Also, when you know that the quilt has wavy borders would it help to do basting all through the quilt like this to create a square top before you start quilting? xxxx

@HandiQuilter Год назад

Congratulations on your new Amara!! Yes, the glide foot will help prevent the quilt edges from flipping back on themselves after basting. (Make sure you try to keep the basting within 1/4" from the edge of the quilt so you binding will cover it up!) I wouldn't recommend basting through an entire quilt unless you are planning to hand stitch. I baste whatever I am not able to quilt in a particular throat space (if I need to change my thread). If your side borders are wavy, try basting in each throat space from the bottom up. That will help you ease in the fullness as you go rather than pushing all the waviness to the bottom of the quilt.

@alexandrawellington8028 Год назад

@@HandiQuilter thank you so much for the advice. The first quilt I loaded was 80 x 100" that I pieced at least 12 years ago and now is on my bed. I was so excited at how easily everything worked. SO many awesome features, the magnetic band for scissors was definitely thought of by a quilter!!! LOL A third quilt is already on the frame😁

@carolmccartney5450 Год назад

When you're rolling it back towards the front after all the basting and trimming of batting, where does the bottom of the quilt go? Does it hang down as the batting would? Does it roll up with the backing? Thanks

@HandiQuilter Год назад

It is attached to the backing and rolls with it.

@carolmccartney5450 Год назад

@sharonw667 2 года назад

question, how did you attach your measuring tape to your idle bar?

@bevwhitten8977 2 года назад

Good question l would like to know too, looks like its taped on??

@jeangrover4797 4 месяца назад

have the Studio frame and only one side drops for clear view? Is that normal? This video is very helpful. - thanks so much.

@HandiQuilter 4 месяца назад

Both sides must drop to go into clear view.

@chareseshinabery Год назад

Hello, I can’t find your centering tape on the website for some reason. Can you please advise how this product is named on the website?

@HandiQuilter Год назад

www.goldenthreads.com/shop/product/handy-helper-quilters-measuring-tape/ Our website has recently been updated and that product seems to have fallen through the cracks. I have asked our webmaster/marketing team to look into it. In the meantime, you can order it from the previous link.

@anncameron4845 2 года назад

Can you do this basting on a Simply Sixteen and if so, how? Very good, clear, instructions otherwise. Thanks ladies.

@joettewarburton8005 2 года назад

GREAT video ladies! Please compliment the camera operator for very nice filming. Could you please tell me the name of the pattern and where it is available?

@kristinawhitneyhqstudioedu7013 2 года назад

Thank you!! It is the Alaska pattern from Laundry Basket Quilts.

@thomashawks4832 Год назад

How do I find start

@monaquilts4679 2 года назад

There are times I take in a quilt that would be loose within the middle of the quiltI if I kept the sides straight. The second method where you take the pins out as you go along…when your hand is holding back the leader you cannot use that hand if you need to smooth the quilt out. I baste above the pins then take the pins out and smooth out that tiny bit on the edge where the pins were.

@lindacwynar9235 2 года назад

I'm a newbie Love the video but I need you to show how to set the machine. You tell us you set it at a 12 but I don't understand the rest of the process.

@barbarakempen2482 2 года назад

So would you always bast the entire quilt?

@kristinawhitneyhqstudioedu7013 2 года назад

No. I only baste the entire quilt if I am going to be doing a lot of intricate work and if I will be changing threads. Another reason is if I plan to take the quilt on and off of the machine.

@happytraveller8953 Год назад

@@kristinawhitneyhqstudioedu7013 Hey Ms. Whitney, newbie here also. So when you say you baste the entire quilt do you mean run a vertical or horizontal basting line 6-8 inches apart down the whole quilt to stabilize it like you would on a domestic machine? Thanks in advance. PS--would love to see a video on that too...
