Penpal83 Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 Long time no chat. I have been very busy now that I have my Tilli's tension fiqured out. On my fourth quilt and having trouble basting down the sides. They are not straight so some times I have a 1/4 inch sometimes a Half. my machine is going straight cause the commputer is quiding it. is there a trick to getting them straight. They look so ugly.

Ruthieq Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 I do mine manually - one stitch at a time about 1" apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
countrystitcher Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 I've always done mine manually too and that way it is easier for the owner of the quilt to pull out the basting if she so desires. Some say it holds the edges down nicely to apply the binding - this would really be helpful with a curved or scalloped edge binding.
