Ever heard of a “victory lap” on a quilt top? 🧵✨ After I finish piecing a quilt, I like to sew a quick line of stitching all the way around the outer edge. This simple step locks in those seams, keeps blocks from stretching, and stops seams from popping open while you baste, quilt, and bind. It only takes a minute, but it makes SUCH a difference—especially on quilts with lots of tiny pieces or bias edges. Think of it as giving your quilt top a little seatbelt before the next step! Do you sew a

This happened over my Easter break! 🤗⁣ ⁣ Because I machine baste my hand quilting projects by long arm, I can start quilting wherever I want. I don't have to work from the center out.😊👍⁣ ⁣ I started by quilting the border so I could trim up the edges and get the binding, hanging sleeve, and label on before I resumed the hand quilting.❤️⁣ ⁣ I am filling the star blocks with continuous curve quilting in the triangles and cross hatching in the squares.👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼⁣ ⁣ It will take me months to fi

Once the quilt top is loaded, it’s time to baste! I like to baste as I go—starting at the top edge, then working my way down the sides as far as my throat space allows. Depending on the quilt, I’ll sometimes begin right in the center and work outward, or I might go from left to right. It really depends on the layout and what feels best for that particular quilt. For basting, I use the single stitch method—literally one stitch at a time. I’ve tried the basting settings on several different machin

"Why do you baste the quilt top? I lay the quilt top onto the batting/backing without securing it. Never moves." I personally love basting along the top edge first, then the sides as I go, and finally the bottom when I get there. From my experience, this keeps my quilts nice and square, helps me avoid tucks, and when it's time for binding, the basting makes sure the outside edge stays secure and smooth. If you’re just getting started with machine quilting, check out my Beginner’s Guide to Free-M
