Get Great Tips for Layering Up Too!

Are you ready to quilt your quilt top on your machine but dread having to do a lot of marking? Christopher Thompson, AKA The Tattooed Quilter, shows how to use masking tape to get perfect lines when doing straight-line quilting with your walking foot.

While this may seem like a no-brainer, Christopher provides great tips to make the process go more quickly and smoothly. While he demonstrates on a small sample his method also works well on larger quilts.

He also provides many excellent tips for layering up your quilt top for quilting. Basting spray is his method of choice and he shows how to get great results quickly.

PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest has featured many patterns from vendors participating in the Craftsy Marketplace, most of which have been deleted by Craftsy. It's going to take awhile for us to hunt down new sources for those patterns. In the meantime there are many links to patterns on our site that no longer work. We apologize if this article contains one or more of those links and appreciate your patience while we straighten things out. Thank you!

PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest does not sell or otherwise provide patterns directly. We showcase patterns and projects from various vendors, bloggers and other sources. Please make a note of where you access a pattern (the link in the yellow box toward the end of each Quilting Digest article). That way you can contact Support for that source if you have downloading problems or other issues. Thank you!
