Hobbs has some sticky batting called Heirloom fusible. I ordered it from the Hancock of Paducah catalog. I have used it once thinking that you didn't have to pin but you do. Judy in AZ -
I also bought a fusible batting in hopes that it would make this project easier but was later warned that it makes a very stiff backing. I'll experiment with it in wallhangings and smaller pieces first rather than a bed quilt. Also, I didn't purchase enough for what's become a real whopper!Originally posted by jbtaz36Comment

I hear ya! Did you view the Sharon Schamber video suggestion from pknord? I'm toying with that method in my mind. This project would need really long and wider boards which could be expensive... Plus I don't know how to manage all the diagonal seams ....Originally posted by ipquilterComment

I found some 96" boards at Lowe's and they weren't that expensive. They had 120" boards too, but I'm never going to make a king-size quilt.

I always use basting spray and I always use a few pins, depending on the size of the project, especially around the edges. However, I hand quilt and have found that many sprays gum up my needle so bad that I have to change needles VERY frequently. The best sprays that I have found are Sulky Temporary Fabric Basing Spray, however, the cans are very small and very expensive. Now my favorite is Dritz Temporary Fabric Basting Spray. For the same price as Sulky you get double the amount and neither gum up the needle. Hope this helps.Originally posted by sanannComment
