I use a quilt basting spray called 505 in a blue and yellow tin. I will post a blog about it very soon. I used to end up bleeding all over my quilt with safety pins popping open and stabbing me. This spray doesn't have a strong odour so you can use it inside ( i still ventilate ) It washes out and doesn't stain or turn yellow like the other basting sprays.<br />Happy quiltingKaye Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12645840787887679046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-224927874660046464.post-75484903169552691002011-10-19T21:41:57.727+11:002011-10-19T21:41:57.727+11:00If you unpick it you won't have any sample to ...If you unpick it you won't have any sample to compare how much skill you've acquired as you become more proficient.....I'm sure it looks lovely, and as Chooky says it's only on display for part of the year....I think if you're happy with it then that's your answer.....work on another quilt, and give yourself another go I say...I think the safest way to baste is on a table top using dog clips on the edges, moving the quilt along as you go...I'll fill you in on this method if you want....have a wine (red of course) and the lines will straighten in the quilt and the knots blurr!!!...lol....Shiralee Stitcheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00570503718978186613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-224927874660046464.post-45057475565947623302011-10-19T17:43:08.992+11:002011-10-19T17:43:08.992+11:00Oh Trish.....stand back look at it, does it look g...Oh Trish.....stand back look at it, does it look good...I am sure the answer is yes...you could unpick, but why....my thoughts always are, am I happy with it, me not anyone else, we all have points of when we need to unpick, and only you can make that decision, I think it looks fantastic...I personally like quilts with character...the light globes look so good...you should be very proud of yourself...Peg - Happy In Quiltinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15278480751349046014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-224927874660046464.post-85722068187203254532011-10-19T15:19:43.514+11:002011-10-19T15:19:43.514+11:00I would listen to .....the STUDENT.
