    Someone posted this awhile ago. I used it. I found some big clips in the hardware section at Walmart. It worked great! I have a long table but it is narrow. So this worked great. Made 2 quilts this way, no problems!


    Have a wonderful day!

    LOL.... this was the video that I referenced. The clips wouldn't fit on the table so I used clamps that I got at Harbor Freight. They worked great and we can use them for so many other things.

    As far as starting: I pull the bobbin thread up, sew about 5-7 stitches at .4 mm (yes, teeny-tiny), then go to 3 mm stitch length and finish the line. At the end, I switch back to .4 mm and finish with 5-7 stitches. That has worked for all of my straight-stitching.
    Really? I don't think my machine goes that low (.4). So far I have done all my stitching with 2mm. I haven't started the quilting yet. Is 3mm standard to quilt it together?

I lay on a carpeted area and make sure it is flat in all areas before securing and quilting. Hope this helps.
    I did get it all spray basted and pinned. Since it is my first, I didn't trust just the spraying.
