Mary Lou C Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 Still a real beginner here as I have only been practicing with whole cloth fabric and sheets. I am wanting to load a crib quilt on the Millie and use the Circle Lord big board Cosmos to quilt it. My confusion is regarding stabilizing the sashing strips as I quilt. After reviewing a beginning quilting DVD, I am wondering if I should be stitching in the ditch to keep the sashing lines straight, as a first step? Or, should I just baste in the 1/4 inch edge on top and left sides as I advance. Any advice will be much appreciated. Hate to spoil the quilt. It's a gift and I have lots of time invested so far. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
