A basting gun is a hand-held tool that can be used in place of pins, basting spray, or other basting methods. This MicroStitch tool holds the layers of your quilt together as you get it ready to quilt.

Main Features of MicroStitch Basting Gun

– MicroStitch tool with needle – Black fasteners – White fasteners

Insert the tags

Looking at the gun from the top, you’ll see a sort of T-shaped slot. This is where you’ll place the plastic tacks.

Close-up view

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

Lay out your three layers

Start basting your quilt

I start in the middle of the quilt and go from the middle to each side. Place each tag about a hand width apart.
