I just finished the top for a smallish quilt, about 4x5 feet or so, and don't have time to get it to a pro for quilting. So here, goes, I'll do it myself.
First question--how far about should basting be? I'll hand baste, making big, ugly 1 inch stitches. But how many rows/columns should I do? (Note to self, buy basting safety pins for next project.)
Next question: Because of the pattern I used (made up) I just need straight rows and columns of stitching. The quilt is for a 10 year old girl, so it will probably get handled quite a bit. So how far apart should I space them?
Thanks ahead of time for your help.
