DoryJM Posted April 22, 2018 Report Share Posted April 22, 2018 Hi guys, I have a customer that would like to have her quilt basted so that she can quilt it. I've never done this. I'd appreciate any tips or pointers, as I'm not sure where to begin!!! Thanks! Dory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PamelaG Posted April 23, 2018 Report Share Posted April 23, 2018 Is she planning to hand quilt or do it on a domestic machine? I do it differently for each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ffq-lar Posted April 23, 2018 Report Share Posted April 23, 2018 Hi Dory! Attached is the spacing and pathway I use for basting for hand-quilters. It would work fine for DSM quilting as well. I use a long stitch length and thick, slippery, contrasting thread for ease of removal. This path requires no long vertical stitching but you still end up with a grid. The customer can remove the stitching as she goes or save it until the end. I charge a half-cent per square inch and usually do only one a year.
