Sharon Schamber's video

[Judith T.]

Hey, girls, it works. DH bought me the boards today and tonight I basted my little wall hanging about 36" square using Sharon Schamber's method. The only thing I would suggest, because I always learn the hard way, put something down to protect the surface of your table. I used my quilting table, but had I used the dining room table, I would have had little pin pricks all over the surface. I used the herringbone stitch and perle cotton thread and a big eye needle. It took a couple of hours and now I am ready to quilt and there are no wrinkles on the back and I sat down for the whole process and stuck my finger several times. Judy in AZ

I also watched her video on machine applique and it was excellent. Think I need to watch ALL of her ideas!

I plan on getting 96" boards, since most of my quilts are big. I also want to get a piece of formica or something to put over my dining room table to protect the wood when I try the herringbone basting. I LOVE the idea of basting a whole quilt sitting down!

I just watched the video and saw that I need 2 boards instead of one. No pins, just pinless basting. Who knew? Judy

Charlene, thank you so much for the info. DH was going to HD so I will have him pick up a 5' piece. That length ought to be enough, don't you think? Judy in AZ

I the video was right on her web site but I did write down "prepainted trimboard" 3" x 1/2" or 5/8"........ :P

I haven't gotten to Home Depot yet...... Charlene

Help, please. Someone gave a website for a video with Sharon Schamber using something from Home Depot to straighten out the quilt top, batting, and backing to get out the wrinkles before basting. I have searched but can't find it. Does anyone remember what that website was? Thank you in advance. I want to send DH to Home Depot to buy what ever that was. I should have written the info down as I can remember anything of importance any more. Does that happen to any of you? Maybe it is the age.
