Thanks for the idea about thread basting. I just finished about 2/3 of a large twin size quilt in less than 2 hours. I will finish the rest tomorro when my fingers feel better.
Sharon, I agree with all the rest of the comments, this is a Great Technique & you should have used two different colors for front/back of your quilt demo (it would have been easier to recognize front from back to sandwich the batting.....but tnx for sharing your method. I just found/bought the 8' boards & am excited to try it on my next quilt!
I have heard nothing but raves about Sharon's videos. They look very helpful, however, I can not understand a word that is said because I'm deaf. Would very much appreciate if they could be captioned. Is this a possibility?? Thanks.

I hope you will re-record this using 2 different kinds of fabric. It would be way easier to understand the first time through. Still, it is a great basting method and I now use it on the queen size quilts I do, and got no puckers at all. Thank you!
I like your technique, but i wish that you had used 2 different color fabrics to make it easier to visualize the top from the bottom and the wrong side and the right side.
Sharon...thanks so much for sharing this technique. I've embedded your video on my website and illustrated it using my own quilt (it's a small one...38x38). Absolutely love it over pin basting!! Needless to say, I'm an avid subscriber.
Sharon, thank you SO MUCH for sharing this technique with us! It's fantastic!! I signed up for your newsletter and look forward to learning more from you.
Thanks so much Sharon, you are so kind sharing your skills and knowledge. I followed your instructions from the atom up and this is the first time ever I had a perfectly flat and even quilt. You are a genius and I am indebted to you. I've just had a look at you site Sharon and I was pleased to see that you can join on a monthly subscription which is great. Best wishes
I just joined up to you tube to be able to comment on Sharons great videos. I'm in the process of using the basting method on a larger quilt. This way I can sit comfertably at the diningroom table doing it. Fantastic!!
You've have made an excellent video for a beginning quilter...me. I didn't know how I was going to tackle my king size quilt for quilting. Thanks. And after going through glue sticks and being frustrated I shall make your School glue method. Thanks again.
Ihave just finish my first quilt I did a king size I really did not want to get on the floor I am so glad that I found your videos You explained so well I never once said what is she talking about GREAT JOB
Dear Sharon,This video and part 2 is excellent and has given me great information and help for basting which is always a problem and you explain everything so well. Many thanks indeed, Annie Dunn - a British quilter in sunny Saudi Arabia
I am very glad you found the Basting videos useful. Make sure that you sign up for the newsletter on SharonSchamberNetwork. I am sure that it will be of great use to you. Especially being in Saudi Arabia, you will be able to just download any video lesson, tutorial and patterns and not have to pay tax's or shipping.
Thank you Sharon, I have subscribed to your network. I do have a question with bigger quilts do you still use boards or could one carefully roll each layer and slowly unravel it to baste? the boards would very long indeed for queen and king. It all makes such sense though and especially not having to start basting in the middle etc. which I have always been told to do and find it quite tricky at time. Thank you Sharon,your work is fantastic!! Annie Dunn, Saudi Arabia
For larger quilts you want to use the appropriate legnth. For a king/queen size make sure that it is much wider. 8 - 10 inches is good but use what works best for you. If you are using a thicker batting make sure it is even wider. Play with it a bit and see what works best for you.
