How to Baste a Quilt Easily!

[Music] okay here's my setup I bought this PVC pipe at Home Depot I had it cut into 40 inch sections and they did it right there for free all I have is the small sections of pipe that can be stored pretty easily compared to a you know an 8 foot long piece of wood and all you have to do is put them together with these connectors and I put double-sided tape on each of the pieces you can do that or not do that it really doesn't matter but just screw these together nice and snug and that's pretty much it I'm gonna go through and show you how I basted the quilt it took very little time it turned out fantastic actually [Music] okay I've added to my three players of quilt around each of these pipes and when I did it I started at the end try to get it as straight as I could I used a little bit of double-sided tape up here on the well I kind of put a piece here here few sections down through and I have found the double-sided tape is pretty sticky almost too sticky for this but I think after I use it a few times and it gets a few fibers on it and fabrics it'll probably be perfect you just need enough to grip onto the fabric so you can wrap it around good so we're gonna try this and see how it works we will do it together okay so we want to start with our backing and you can see I can't cut very straight but that's alright as long as we line this up good I think it would be perfectly fine so get our backing batting and I'm not gonna really talk during this I think I'm just going to do it and we will see how it goes and I will just kind of speed through this [Music] I am finding this to work fantastic I am shocked how well this is going together my only concern now at this point is I have another project in depth right now and I'm a little short on pins and I hadn't thought that out when I started so I'm hoping um I have enough pins to get through this I'm trying to be as sparing as possible here but we will see but it is lining up perfectly I have tried everything in the past from adhesives it snaking spray based I hate it all it just this is the best way to do a quilt in my opinion to pin it it's just time consuming painted the bite I don't know it but this still is very very well very quickly I must say um I've been doing this about five minutes now and it's great my everything's lining up good I couldn't be happier with the results [Music] okay so that was me basting that quilt and I think it turned out absolutely fantastic I don't think it took me 15 minutes to baste the entire thing that is just unheard of in my opinion I've spent two hours trying to lay a quilt out and get it to lay just right without one crinkle so I think this is definitely a win I spent 12 dollars on the entire set up it was 310 foot sections of PVC pipe and when I went to buy the pipe one of the associates at Home Depot cut it into 40 inch sections for me and I think I need needed six of those little connectors I accidentally bought nine but who knows maybe can use them for something I think you can actually buy a thing that will thread the PVC you can kind of cut threads into it if you wanted to screw it together but I really don't see the point in to going to all that trouble so twelve dollars and I just pasted a quilt in less than half an hour absolutely fantastic in my opinion so thank you for watching if you like my videos please like and subscribe to my channel and I want many more videos coming soon thanks a lot and have a great day
