Basting can be done with needle and thread, using a longer than usual running stitch.&nbsp; One can also baste with basting spray, especially made for fabrics.&nbsp; Safety pins can also be used, and there is also a product called a basting gun.&nbsp; However basting is done, the quilt should be well basted, so the quilt layers don&#39;t shift while quilting.</p> <p><a href="http://www.quiltersclubofamerica.com/cfs-file.ashx/__key/CommunityServer.Blogs.Components.WeblogFiles/the_5F00_qca_5F00_quilters_5F00_dictionary/Baste.png"><img src="http://www.quiltersclubofamerica.com/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer.Blogs.Components.WeblogFiles/the_5F00_qca_5F00_quilters_5F00_dictionary/Baste.png" border="0" alt="" /></a></p> <p>Source: <a href="http://sewlux.blogspot.com/2011/07/3-pocket-wall-organizer-tutorial.html">http://sewlux.blogspot.com/2011/07/3-pocket-wall-organizer-tutorial.html</a></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Related links:</p> <p>A helpful guide to <a href="http://www.mccallsquilting.com/quickquilts/articles/Basting"><b>basting</b></a> from McCall&#39;s Quilting.</p> <p>&quot;Now What?<b> <a href="http://www.quiltersclubofamerica.com/forums/p/18214/175773.aspx">Basting</a> </b>the Quilt&quot;
