I think that would keep the edges of the batting from thinning as the quilt is moved around during the quilting process.

I guess it is true what they say - "A needle in the hand is worth two in the couch". I adore your Auntie Green. I love your temporary edging solution. I must remember that one. I only baste the perimeter of the quilt when I am hand quilting (yes, this drivves all my quilting friends crazy) so this will tidy up my edge and keep the wool fluff from landing all over the living room!Wendy Caton Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18122151466664580872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2391988816380415741.post-3896037142771706232015-03-16T08:56:33.797+11:002015-03-16T08:56:33.797+11:00I am so glad you are enjoying hand quilting,,looks...I am so glad you are enjoying hand quilting,,looks like you have quite a bit done too.

I've never tried handquilting with pins I always thought they would bug me - like in the way of the hoop and catching on things... I hope you love it and I am brave enough to try it next time. The extra backing brought around to the front is a good idea too.
