- To stabilize a quilt prior to doing quilting use water soluble thread to sew straight
basting lines across the quilt surface. Use the water soluble thread for the top thread
and in the bobbin. Then, once all the real quilting is done, wash the quilt and the
stabilizing lines come out!"

- To get your backing and batting smooth when you are using a spray baste roll your
batting onto a dowel (about 1.5" in diameter). Then tape your backing down to a flat
surface (I use the floor) spray the backing lightly on the end and place the end of the
batting on the backing and spray and roll it onto the backing. No wrinkles to fight with
and try and smooth out.

- When basting your quilt, leave thread attached to spool after threading your needle,
thus eliminating all that cutting and threading. Can't wait to try it myself.
- Use thread in a contrasting colour to baste your quilt so that I can be sure to get all of
the basting threads out later.
