Started using pool noodles a couple of years ago and it changed the whole quilting experience. I bought a piece of dowel at the hardware store to extend the noodles, and I also use basting spray. Now, it takes less than 30 minutes to sandwich a quilt, and I don't end up with so many UFO's!

Three years later and your video is still helping people. I am a new quilter and working in a very small space...on a 2' X 5' table (or my bed ) and this video was so very helpful. I can't thank you enough for sharing this trick with others.

Thank you for this awesome tutorial. It was great and also love that there is no distracting music or noise in the background. You sounded like a pro. Congratulations on your first video. 😊

Your first video???? You could have fooled me! This is a brilliant idea! Thank you so much for sharing.

What a wonderful way to do a sandwich when minimal tabletop space is available. Thanks so much for doing the tutorial!

This is awesome. I have cats and this helped me to complete my quilt sandwich quickly without spending much time chasing cats or watching them watch me through the cat gate... lol. Also an awesome way to store my quilt sandwich until I complete the quilting on it! Thank you!!!

This is your first video? You seem like you have been doing this a long time. No distracting music, you speak clearly and you were very organized. Great job. Love the idea of the pool noodles. Thank you!

This is a great way to transport my ironed quilt top and bottom to my longarmer. Excellent video!

Very helpful. Great tip using placemat also. TFS

Oh my gosh! This is such a great idea! I can't wait to use this method. Thanks for sharing.

A realy helpful way to get it done! Thanks so much.

Thank you for sharing noodle quilting. Wonderful idea. No one would know this was your first video. Smooth and clear start to finish. Awesome. Have a blessed day. Kaye

I can’t wait to use this method! It will certainly be easier on my back since i always basted on the floor. Thank you so much for sharing 😊

What a great tip. I don't like making the quilt sandwich but this system makes it much more manageable. Thanks for the tutorial!!

Brilliant! Nicely done. Just the right amount of information. Straightforward. On my to pick up pool noodles on end of summer clearance. Thank you.

Great tip. Thank you for sharing. Blessings from Ohio.

Thank you for the video with pool noodles to help with making the quilt sandwich. Very helpful 😀

Quilting for several years, cannot wait to try this!

Great job explaining and demonstrating! Wonderful technique too!

Nice, calm, quiet AND educational. Good job.

Pretty doggone clever! Excellent video skills too! I am forwarding this to my Quilting Circle. Thanks very much for sharing.

So concise and clear - love this demo! Thanks for sharing this technique!

What a wonderful idea. Please continue to share your tips with us!

I am sorry I didn't see this sooner. You did an excellent job of showing and explaining the process of layering. You made it look so Easy, I will definitely try this. THANK YOU AGAIN.

Brava!!! Thank you from.the bottom of my aching back!!! This is brillant!! Well done!!!

This technique will definitely be a game changer for me! Can’t wait to use it this week when I finish my quilt top. Thanks so much 😊

Thank you SO MUCH for showing this brilliant way to make a quilt sandwich !

if this was your first video....YOU ARE A PRO!!! thanks for a great job

Great tutorial. What an idea! I'm going to used this idea. You did a wonderful job. Thank you!

Great idea. Thank you for sharing. Great job of demonstration.

Great video for being your first video. Clear instructions and no distracting music. Thank you so much!

Very helpful video... right to the subject... no time wasted in the demo. Should do more. This will not only save my knees, but my sanity!! Thank you!!

That was genius. Thank you so much for this very clever video!

Great idea! Keeps the layer organized and manageable.

just tried this - WOW so much quicker and easier than pinning on the floor. Thank you so much for sharing this

I have struggled with this step of quilt making for years. Thanks to your tutorial I know I will be able to do this on my own. Thank you for showing me how.

Thank you for this tutorial. It's so helpful. I hated doing quilt sandwich so will try this method.

Excellent idea! Thanks for doing the tutorial, great start.

Very good, short, straight-forward, to no point, no distractions, like music. Thank you!

Very well done! I had never heard of this, but I’m intrigued.

This is a FANTASTIC idea!! I agree....no distracting music or noise, and I could hear you very clearly. Your instructions were very clear as well, and I have added your video to my very first QUILTING folder to save for later so I can see it again. I've been quilting for many years, and I have done so much of this on the floor, but it's hard to get it all smoothed out that way. So, thank you for this great idea!

Never seen this done before - how natty! Can't wait to try - thanks for sharing!

Congratulations! One of the simplest and clearest tutorials I have seen.

This was wonderful for me to see. It solved a problem I have been dealing with trying to get quilts basted on my own on my kitchen table. Thank you so much.

Thank you so much for sharing this amazing idea with us. This will change my life. Riding the sandwich now will be pleasurable. Kisses.

Thank you for sharing your method of using pool noodles. I had never thought of that neither had I heard of others using that method. Wonderful!

Great idea!!! This is one of my biggest challenges, figuring out how to get the layers to stack up evenly. Thank you.

Well done. Clear and concise. Thank you

Yes it is very helpful and looks so much easier than doing it on a floor. You have great suggestions too.

Great idea, thanks! Excellent job for your first video! When pinning layers together I use a regular teaspoon from my table service, slip the edge under the point of the pin as you're bringing it up thru the layers and it goes thru the layers and slides up the pin so much easier & faster. Saves your fingers too. Takes a tiny bit of practice with first few to "get in the rhythm" but worth it.

This is so clever! Will save my back from trying to pin on the floor. Thank you so much for posting it.

This is very helpful advise. No more taping the layers to the dining room floor...lol. I am off to the Dollar Tree for pool noodles.

I was amazed how this method works. Thank you for sharing. You first video was great. I learned a lot and you were very through! I will try this method soon.

What a GREAT idea !! Thanks for sharing this great video !

What a great idea for when you're limited with space- as I bet a lot of us are, lols. I often don't even have floor space available, in our tiny tiny house. I love it! Thanks for sharing that, it was very straight forward and practical.

Clear and precise tutorial🧵 Bravo👏🏻👏🏻

AWESOME IDEA!! I think the noodles would work for storing the backing right from the ironing board!! THANKS SABINA!!

Thank you so much for your tutorial. You were wonderful! Your directions were clear and simple. Layering has always been a pain. I think I'll have great results with this method and I'll use it today!

Holy Cow! This is fabulous! Thank you so much!!! You are very clever and I am so happy to have found your video!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

Very helpful video. I hope you make more videos. Very good teacher. Thanks!

Wow! For a first video you did great! Very helpful tip. Loved it!!

Thank you for this fabulous tip. It looks so much easier than trying to wrestle all of that material.

Thank you so very much for these instructions they are a great idea and simplifies the process nicely. I hope to see more information later I am a very beginner and do appreciate all the advice from experts like you. Thank you again.

This was a really neat video! I will have to try. Currently I go over to a club that I’m a member of, and climb all over the floor. This looks much easier. Thanks for sharing it!

Your suggestion to use a pool noodle for making the quilt sandwich is awesome. It's light weight and rolls up reasonably small for better fit in my home sewing machine. (I usually roll my entire sandwich on one pool noodle.) Also, I agree with Irma Gonzalez's point about no distracting music in the background. I understand that noise is part of recording, but I really dislike added music for the sake of I don't know what. Background music often makes hearing the speaker much more challenging for me, so thanks for not putting it in. Hope others will follow your excellent approach. Please keep posting videos.

Oh my gosh, I wish I would have seen this yesterday. It took me forever to sandwich a twin sized quilt and not to mention my back pain afterwards. This would have been so much faster and less painful on my back.. Thank you for this video. I'm going to try it on my next quilt sandwich.

This video has rocked my world!!! How could I not know this technique?!?!?!? I have been quilting for 25 years and I have struggled getting all 3 layers all spread out either on the floor (knees won't do that anymore!) or trying to find a table big enough!! Now I can do this and it will be so much easier!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing this!!!! This is going to change my life!!!!!

so glad I found you. Relatively new to quilting and found this easy to follow. thank you. :)

Loved your video. I have been using a similar method with lengths of 4”x4” timber. Pool noodles look much kinder, lighter and softer to work with. Never would have thought to change my method but I will be heading out to grab some today. Great first video, would not have known as it was very professional and easy to watch. 👍

This is an amazing method! Thank you for showing how to do it. I have a quilt top that I’ve been putting off finishing and now I am ready to tackle it.

Great job. Clear and concise. Keep doing videos!

Great job! Very easy to follow and understand.

So clever. Thank you. Enjoy your calm,clear presentation. Helpful suggestions about which pins and where to place them. Kind of exciting to see you unroll the separate parts and how easily the sandwich is created by this method. Awesome.

Your video is so clear with perfect visual & spoken instructions. Been hand quilting since the '60s, this 1 video has made my life so easy and effortless. Thank you

I think this will be most useful, especially for larger quilts and/or when you don't have a large table. I cannot wait to try it! thanks

What a great idea! I've never seen this used but I knew pool noodles were handy for things. This would be especially nice for someone with a smaller work table. Thank you for this tutorial and the great idea.

Thank you! That was helpful and very nicely done.

Genius! Thank you so much! Look forward to more fantastic ideas!

Wow! Very easy to follow, never once rewound & played again. And I agree, you are an awesome teacher, looking forward to more from you.

Fantastic idea, well represented. Tomorrow I am going to buy 3 noodles. I also like the fact that there is no distracting music that makes me watch the video 2 or 3 times. Great job, looking forward to seeing more. thanks for showing us.

Great job I never would have guessed it was your first tutorial thank you I'll use that trick I got plenty of pool noodles

What a wonderful tutorial. Seeing and hearing the instructions is very helpful, your instructions are easy to understand. Now I have to try this, it will be so much better than trying to lay the whole thing out flat and fighting the pieces.

Such a wonderful idea....and easy to complete. Thank you for sharing.

The pool noodles look like a great way to either transport (to a class) or even store them! Your first video deserves MANY more!

Thank you so much for the tutorial. I have limited space and this will help me tremendously!

Thank You, for making this video. It is tremendously helpful and well done. I love how you got straight to work and were so clear.

Bravo! Enjoyed the info with no distractions as mentioned by others. Never saw this technique and I think it is great. Thank you so much.

I will surely try this on my next quilt. Thank you for a clear tutorial.

Thank you so much. I’m a beginner quilter and finding it fiddly to sandwich, especially with a small workspace. I don’t like laying my work on the floor. This is so clever and very neat ❣️❣️❣️

I loved your video. I am now in a wheelchair and unable to get down on the floor to sandwich a quilt any longer. My daughter just bought me a rolling cutting table recently and this method will work perfectly in the limited space I have available. Thank you for sharing.

Great first video. That is such a great way to control the fabrics when making the quilt sandwich. Never seen that before.

This was excellent! I loved the tutorial, and was really surprised when you said that this is your first video. Don't change your style. This is a winner!

Love this idea. I have to have someone layer for me because of knee and back. With the noodles, I could do it myself and probably a lot straighter. thank you.

Thank you so much for making this video! Your method makes basting the quilt-batting-backing a world easier.

Well done. Beautiful table.

Greetings from Germany and thank you for this Tip. For me it´s very usefull. For your first Video you did a wonderful job.

Great video! Well explained, very clear and easy to understand. Had not seen this method of basting before, but will definitely be giving it a try. Wish I had watched this earlier, when pool noodles were easier to find in the stores! Great technique. Thanks for sharing!

Excellent tutorial especially for your first one. Love the pool noodles idea.

Love this idea! Never saw it before.
