Whenever I hand quilt a mini, scrap muslin is basted all around at the edge of the borders. This way, it is really easy to put into a hoop and quilt.
Have a great day!

makes it so much easier!
love the quilt your going to quilt.

Now this is a wonderful idea! I can still hand quilt but only in a frame or hoop. Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS)has virtually destroyed any chance of my doing hoopless quilting. I can't grip tight enough to hold the fabric.
Is this lesson number one? Great idea.
What a great idea, really must do some hand quilting...do you want to come over and show me......LOL
Super tip. I try to quilt minis without a hoop -- but this would be way easier!
That is so clever, and a darling mini quilt.
What a great tip. Thanks for sharing.
Oh yes, that IS a great tip, thanks!
