T Row Studio Posted September 5, 2015 Report Share Posted September 5, 2015 My customer sent me a message last night she won second place at here local quilt show with this quilt I did for her. I was so excited this is the first quilt I custom quilted that has won a ribbon. Happy dance I have had several people ask to see this quilt here it is the customer was very happy with what I did with it thanks for all the advise. Thank-you everybody for your Ideas I ended up pin basting and I am very happy with how it turned out. Here is a picture. I could use some guidance I am working on a Judy Niemeyer quilt, Cattails in the meadow. I want to start in the middle and quilt out from there. Anybody have suggestions or step by step instruction so I do not get wrinkles in the backing. Thank-you in advance if you can help me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T Row Studio Posted September 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2015 Baste the entire project, then start wherever you want. How far apart do I baste it Lynn ... so long stitches I take out after I have quilted the entire quilt or do I remove as I come to them?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BethDurand Posted September 5, 2015 Report Share Posted September 5, 2015 When I baste for hand quilting, I just turn off the stitch regulator, and do a big loopy meander. Then take them out as you come to them. If you wait until after the whole thing is quilted, you'll be pulling them out from under your permanent stitches and be very sad.

kkey1030 Posted September 6, 2015 Report Share Posted September 6, 2015 You CAN baste with water soluble thread, then spray or submerge the quilt when it is finished being quilted and the basting thread dissolve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoseCity Quilter Posted September 6, 2015 Report Share Posted September 6, 2015 Pin baste to Center in 4" grid, pins parallel to bars, stitch from Center to bottom of quilt, then roll back to Center and stitch Center to top edge. I have done this a few times, and I think especially for Judy's medallion style quilts is a good choice.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delld Posted September 6, 2015 Report Share Posted September 6, 2015 This is the way I do it too, Terry. It works very well. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busy Quilting Posted September 6, 2015 Report Share Posted September 6, 2015 I pin baste any quilt that I am not doing in an overall. Usually I work one colour from top to bottom and pin baste all the unquilted areas. Use the clover Flower head pins #2506 the 0.7mm x L.54mm, then you can use your ruler base and they do not interfere with it. I have about 500 of these ready to use and 200 more in the pin drawer ready for the biggy quilts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zora Posted September 6, 2015 Report Share Posted September 6, 2015 I hate to pin baste, and I hate dealing with the pin. I would do as Beth Durand said. The basting pattern isn't as important as the big stitches so that it is easily removed. Loose tension...what would be bad tension..also makes it easier to remove.

Cagey Posted September 30, 2015 Report Share Posted September 30, 2015 Terry: I like how you accentuated the quilt top design with the flowing quilting around the cattail frowns filling out to the border. Your quilting looks stunning. Another job well done. Cagey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RitaR Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 Terry, WOW, just have to comment again, and a big congratulations for the second place. LOL, I entered one of the quilts Marintha pieced and bound, and in between I did just an all over e2e computerized design. We won $7.00 prize money.. I gave her half and the ribbon. She was thrilled. The cashier thought I was nuts when I laughed over the $7.00. Wont buy much, maybe tater chips, dip and a candy bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
