It's All About That Baste

Hi everyone! It’s Kim Lapacek of Persimon Dreams here to talk to you about spray basting. There are a lot of arguments out there about which way to baste a quilt is best but the true answer is - baste whichever way works best for you. I personally like to spray baste. I have the room to spread out in a well ventilated area and it works well for me. Don't get me wrong - I've used some cheap, nasty spray baste that caused my needles to gum up and my thread to break every other stitch. If you're going to spray baste I recommend using a good basting spray. I have been using Spray N Bond® Basting Adhesive on all of the quilts I quilt myself since I became an Designer for Therm O Web and I have to say - it works great. I don't have any problems with gumming up my needles and thread breakage while I'm free motion quilting. And before I know it - without any hassle of breaking needles on pins (pin basting) or having to take out any thread later (thread basting) - I have a finished quilt. 'Autumn Exuberance' is just an example of one of the quilts I successfully free motion quilted after spray basting with Spray N Bond® Basting Adhesive.
