Basting Bee. Dianne will bring her basting frame. (lap size up to 7.5 feet x 7.5 feet). Members can bring quilts that need basting bring pins, quilt top, batting, quilt top, and backing fabric.
Basting your quilt
Quilt top-pressed and strings/threads cut
Batting – approximately 4 inches wider and longer than quilt top
Backing – Approximately 6 inches wider and longer than quilt top and pressed
Basting pins - opened
~ 1 dozen straight pins
~ 1 dozen straight pins
a fine crochet hook or a Kwik Klip (there should be a few at Sew Happins)
For example: If your quilt top measures 48” x 72”, your batting should be 52” x 76”, and your back should measure 54” x 78”
These dimensions will give you wiggle room without a lot of waste.
No need to layer the pieces, we put them on the frame individually.
