*Sigh* I think I will go to the gym and forget about it for the moment.

Would it work to put into dryer on no heat? I've used fusible batt before and don't recall it being too sticky to use.

Sounds like this would be a perfect candidate for my Quilt Frame. I have the ones that were probably made in 1892 for my husband's grandmother. There are two 1X3 boards about 6 feet long and two about 7 feet long. I stapled denim strips to them so I can pin my large quilts to that. (My mother-in-law used thumb tacks.) I make a large square with these boards using C-clamps on the corners. Now I have bolts which hold the corners solid. Nothing is going to wrinkle when you stretch it onto that frame. I don't stretch too much, but I get the wrinkles out.

My son has now made me two more boards that are 8 feet long and I made myself two that are 4 feet long. Now I can tie or pin baste many more sizes. When a quilting friend passed, her family offered a set that were 102 inches long. I didn't take them but sometimes wish I had.
