I love your series! Now I feel like I'm ready to start making my first quilt. You explain and show everything and make it so clear and easy to understand. Thank You!

I've watched a dozen videos trying to find a useful tip to keep my large, large, large project aligned and here you are. TAPE!!!!! OMG!!!! Tape the darn thing to the floor!!! Thank you!!!! And I love the quilt in your background - doesn't look like it took hundreds of dollars and hours of fabric shopping to have a computer do the work. Lovely.

Gorgeous quilt and love your videos!! So glad I found them!!

I love that you think of every detail and sometimes over explain each step.. it's really helpful! My 1st quilt is getting less and less scary!! thanks for taking the time to do this!

Thank you Erica for your quilting videos! I love the way you explain everything and go into the details. God bless you!

Thanks so much for this tutorial. I have been sewing for a couple of years but have never done any quilting and this was a tremendous help for abeginner quilter. I am due to have a baby girl in April and got in my head to do her bedroom all from scratch and wanted to quilt her bed set and crib bumpers. It was breeze with this tutorial thank you.

So enlightening! I have done this the hard way for 40 years. Thank you so much for this video.

Thank you for showing this tutorial. It was a great help. The first quilt that I had done was with pins on carpet. Now that was really something to see. Lol. I'm going to try it the way you showed. Thanks so much.

Super helpful and I love that you show what its like to baste on your floor!

I love this idea. The tape to secure the backing would be a Godsend! I will certainly try the floor method on my next quilt and the rolling technique looks so much easier than doing it in quarters. Thank you Erica!

Lovely! I've been trying to figure out to be better on "sandwiching". This explained it clearly. Thank you. Good video!

Just discovered your channel on quilting. Great direction! I've learned so much from watching two videos. Thx so much.

How have i never thought to tape down backing?! GENIUS! Thank you!

This video is fantastic!! Thank you so much, this video is exactly what I needed to watch. Extremely informative. 👍

This was super helpful .... loved your method of spray basting!!

Thank you! You make it look so easy. I'm inspired by you!

I am learning so much from you! Excellent tutorial! Thank you!

Awesome, after watching heaps of videos this is by far the best. Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺

Loved your video. Very easy to understand; you make it look so simple! lol I can't get up and down from the floor like that; I don't know what I will do. When I have a wall hanging, I can use the table. Thanks!!!

Your such a great teacher!! Thank you for everything. 🙂

Keep smiling lass thanks for this I'm new to patchwork .

Thank you, so much! Big help, much appreciated

Thank you so much for ALL your tutorials! You are so thoughtful in the details.. very beginner friendly. I'm making my first quilt this summer for my granddaughter. I actually feel like I can do this with great success and many thanks to you! 😁😍

Thank you for this! Making my first quilt and I thought basting would be easier than pinning but I had no idea how to baste it well.

I didn't realize my first quilt puckered until I watched this video. I basted from the edge to edge.

This is definitely the most useful video!

I love this method! Some great tips - thank you :)

Love your tutorials! I'm new to free motion and used the pin method on my first quilt which I regret. Im using spray basting for my second. So far love it. I'm wondering with spray basting do I need to quilt center out or does it matter since there's no shifting?

Thank you Erica. I am making my first quilt and felt frustrated because layers kept slipping. After watching your video , I now know what to do.

Great video! Thank you!

Great video! Was wondering how I was going to wrangle the spray basting without a quilt wall.

Finally the fastest way to baste , thankyou.

Great tutorial. Thanks for sharing

So very helpful on corners.

Thank you! Helped a lot.

Thank you for the tip with the painter’s tape! 👏👏👏

Save your finger tips with the Kwik Klip basting tool and attach the Quilters Delight Safety Pin Grip Covers to your #1 nickle plated curved safety pins and basting is fun!!!!!!

Love love love your videos

Love your quilt, fantastic colors. Can you please tell me which pattern is and fabric? Also, loved the Summerville. Great video.

Thank you for showing how a real quilter does who doesn’t own a studio.

Hi. What pattern did you use to make the quilt you were basting in the video? I really like that one with the beautiful fabrics.

That's genius! Thank you!

Erica, I love your video! Your quilt is beautiful! What pattern is it? Thanks for all your tips.

I absolutely love your tutorials!! I have been bitten by the quilters bug and never dreamed it would happen. My mother was a quilter and I just never followed her down that road until she passed away unexpectedly. I have started piecing quilts and I love it!! I do have a question regarding your spray basting. Am just wondering what is available to get the overspray off of table, floor, etc....?

Spray basting a quilt is much more efficient than pin basting, but it doesn't need to be done on the floor. In fact, if you're older or have knee problems, it cannot be done on the floor! Its much easier one of two ways. You can hang your quilt on a wall. I saw this on a video years ago...I think it may have been Pat Sloan, but not sure. First hang your backing by using pins or staples or tape, making sure its taut...spray...then add your batting...spray...then add your top, smoothing with every layer. It works beautifully. The other way...if you can't find a wall...is to use a large table, or even folding tables. You can let the quilt fall over the sides, which actually helps keep it taut...and spray baste in sections. There might even be a video on YT with these methods. If you're young and fit, then use the floor, but if that doesn't work for you, try one of these other two methods...it will save your back and knees.!

Great tutorial! If you have overspray that gets onto your flooring, does this adhesive wash off?

you mentioned it can gum up your needle. does it gum up anything else. Do you change needles or clean them with alcohol or water?

How long do you feel like the 505 holds the layers together? Im just wondering if I can baste today and quilt in 2 days? Thanks!

I love your videos especially being relatively new to quilting your Quilting 101 series has helped me so much! Do you have to hurry and free motion quilt as soon as you get done basting or can you do it over a couple day period? Just wondering.

What is the quilt pattern of the quilt you did the basting example on? LOVE your videos... going to be ordering your two quilt patterns you have on your site as well.

Thank you

I’m so happy I found your video bc I wasn’t sure if I was able to spray adhesive to baste..I’ve always used safety pins and it’s frustrating..so thank you. By the way do you by chance have the name of your pattern? It’s beautiful!

You are so very helpful; most tutorials the speaker talks so fast and moves so fast ,I am unable to keep up. You are very special and your voice is easy to listen to. Thank you for these tutorials!!!

I love, love, love your quilt top fabric. Do you happen to know the name of it?

Very good tutorial. I'm going to give this method a go with the quilt I'm making now. Thanks for sharing the knowledge. I'm not a big fan of the safety pin method. The spray basting is so much easier and way faster for sure.

I only spray bast less wrinkles that way.also i use a yard stick to smooth out fabric that way im not on my fabric

What is the app you mentioned for calculations? I’m not finding it on Apple.

Awesome video. If I DID get down on my floor, they’d have to call "Tim’s Crane" to get me up…lol

I use 505 spray glue to baste my quilts but I also tack the three layers together. Is it really necessary to tack the layers together if I have already glued. I seem to be making myself a lot of work

Can I ask what the pattern of the quilt that is behind you is? Just found your videos :)

I just found this hoping to get the answer I was looking for. Do you line up the center of your quilt top with the center seam of the backing fabric? Thank you

Do you have a video on how to finish it after that?? I’m not sure yet how to see my edges after spraying it together

Erica, do you use spray starch on your fabric before you cut your fabric?

Great video, what type of iron are you using?

Yes

In the past when spray basting I always had a huge issue with it gumming up my needle. It was such a pain I just went back to pin basting. Is the 505 brand better at not gumming up the machine than other brands?

Thanks a lot! Do you sew with a special kind of needle when you spray baste? I have heard of Teflon needles. 🌺🌸

What type of batting do you generally use? All cotton cotton poly 80/20 or what? Whar Brand do you like? Mt mist, hobbs, Quilter’s dream?

If you spray baste, can you fold it up and come back to it a few days later? Is there a time limit?

where did you get that amazing quilt extention around your machine?

The Quilt top is beautiful. Do you have a pattern to share for that? Thank you for this video.

Is the 505 spray baste safe to use on a baby quilt. Will it leave toxic residual or will the chemicals wash out? Thanks

If you get any spray on the wood floor how do you clean it off ?

I have some UFOs, mostly quilts, that only need to be basted...they have been in storage for at least four years!! A quilt for each of my children.

Great video. The only thing is the echo in the room while speaking. Watch you often!❣️

Can you use spray binding on a baby quilt?

Wish I could find the app you are using. I thought you said Quilter's paradise but that comes up with zip in the app store

Where do I found the calculation table at

What pattern is the Amaricana quilt you are basting?

How do you keep overspray from the front of your quilt doing it this way?

Well, I jumped the gun. You have slowed down and your tutorial was very good.

I taped my backing to the floor with strong duck tape but it kept coming undone. I see you're using painters tape and its sticking great. Am I doing something wrong???

Have you ever used fusible batting before?

Is it possible to use this method to hand quilt without a hoop or a frame. I have hand quilted 2 quilts but basted with thread that took days to do a secure job. This sounds wonderful if it will hold up to constant movement and folding as I quilt.

That patriotic quilt is adorable

I understand this tutorial is older.....however I use a wall in my house when I spray baste. I do the same thing press the top and backing really really well. Then I have my daughter help me put backing on the wall and I also use masking tape Then I do the same with the batting and masking tape it to the wall..... Now I spray baste half of the quilt...I undo half of the batting...spray baste and work my way up the quilt then do the same for the bottom. Repeat this process for the top. I do pin the edge of the quilt just so I don't have too much fraying and maybe have to stretch a corner 😊... That being said...I have been working on a quilt for my bestfriends birthday and it's a 90 or 92 square quilt. I didnt have any help as everyone was at work or school. I have decided to just pin baste this large heavy quilt and pinned every 3 to 4 inches. I just put a 1/2 4 × 8 sheet of plywood on my bed and just worked in sections from the middle out. I'm just doing stitch in the ditch with a walking foot on my baby lock. I started in the center and worked my way out to 1 side....so the first half....then flipped it to do the other half...... I have never just pin based a large quilt before and understand what you mean by shifting when just basting so far isn't not a whole lot maybe a 1/2 to an inch. I just hope it will be ok. I'm sure you are familiar what's a book simply jelly roll by the fat quarter shop and I am making the Pumpernickel Quilt. Second big quilt I have ever made because my home is rather small and don't really have space for large quilts lol. But I plan on making every quilt in the book but the heart one. As long as the pin basting large heavy quilts don't shift much and send quilt out of square 😊. Let me know what your thoughts are if you happen to get this😊. Love your channel and your quilts are beautiful. I cant wait to see the colors you have chosen for the new sew sample BOM quilt a long. Have a blessed day and keep quilting.

Is spray basting safe for a baby quilt?

I would the pattern for this quilt

I cannot get my quilt back to lay flat. Any ideas?

I tried crawling on my quilt I had it taped very tight. I usually don't do this, I did two quilts like this and the backing was wrinkled after I cut it out and looked at the back. Not so easy to fix because when you get the wrinkles out of the back the quilt front is then all out of place and wrinkled. I don't know if I missed something? I don't think I did. I normally use the spray and do it from the side and never had this problem. This may work for some people it didn't for me. I just thought I would let people know what happened to me, because this was a very time consuming and not a pleasant experience after all your hard work of making and sandwiching a quilt.

great tutorial! question? are you and melanie ham related? you sound alike,,,

For how long does the spray baste hold? How soon/quickly do you have to quilt it?

Does not show laying out the backing or securing it down or laying the middle and lining up the top.

I have been watching quite a few videos because it’s been a while since I’ve had to do this, and you really should not spray that basting spray onto your fabric. You should spray it onto the batting instead

Why are quilt instructors talk like they are on Speed? Not trying to be rude..slow down.

Please talk a little slower

Slow down, you talk wayyyy to fast, take a breath!

Unbelievable amount of talking…unnecessarily
