This is Toowoomba Quilters Club Inc raffle quilt. A large one at 87" x 93". if you pinned it with safety pins every 4" you would use about 505 safety pins.
On a longarm machine you still need to stabilise a quilt if you are quilting one colour on the whole top in finite areas. I am only quilting the black outer border to begin with.
I am using 6 pins in each block, there are 108 blocks.
I am also pinning 3 of the 66" sashing blocks to keep the whole quilt straight every 3".
Total straight pins in this quilt about 750. At least the quilt is at my height and I am not bending over to pin. Plus they are straight pins not safety pins.
