Frequently Asked Questions
Do you have to baste your quilt before attaching to the hoop?
Yes, the three layers of your quilt (top, batting, and backing) have to be layered flat together and pinned across the top and bottom edges. The middle of the quilt does not need to be pinned like traditional quilt basting, but the layers of the quilt do need to be evenly spread out and flat.
Please keep this in mind if space is a serious issue for you. You will still need the space to arrange the three layers of your quilt flat on a table or the floor, find the midpoints, and pin across the top and bottom edges of the batting and quilt top.I do this by pinning on a wall!
If you do not have the ability to spread the layers of your quilt flat, a better frame choice will be theEvolution Elite Framewhich allows you to baste the quilt directly on the frame.
