When I unwound the first half metre, I pulled both top and bottom fabrics taunt, and then weighted them down flat before unwinding further. <BR/><BR/>I recommend that if you're considering trying this method, that you view it on YouTube.com under "basting" and its demonstrated by Sharon Schamber.Hope this helps! <BR/><BR/>The only difference between my adapted method and the one shown is that my boards are bigger and heavier, 4 1/2 inch wide, 2.10metre long and 1 inch thick.Esther Aliuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04760874340919976083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8113183995005359036.post-21627793020680710192008-07-12T08:46:00.000+10:002008-07-12T08:46:00.000+10:00Gorgeous quilt, wow and so fast, you are amazing, ...Gorgeous quilt, wow and so fast, you are amazing, I cannot wait to see how you quilt this beauty, thank you for sharing your journey, simply fabulous....
