Does anyone else really procrastinate when it comes to basting quilts? I get over the pain of basting my quilts by trying out lots of different techniques.
The hype is that the MicroStitch tagging gun or basting gun will let you say goodbye to safety pins, glue, metal staples, and large tacks.

Insert the tags
Put the gun in slightly sideways so you can feel that you’ve gone through all the way.
