LOL I love this message board and I can't tell you how mice it is that you don't mind letting newbie’s to quilting ask questions. Thank you again for all the good ideas--you guys rock! :)

And thanks for asking the question. Some of us newbies (me)don't even know what to ask. Pinned a quilt on the floor a few days ago, and didn't like it. Lots of great ideas for next time - thanks!

LOL No problem! :-D This place is different than most because everyone is kind when you ask a question that's old hat to them but new to gals like us. I belonged to one other quilter's site for a short time and if you ask a question--they thought it was funny that you didn't know that already. It's discouraging to be laughed at! I know I plan on being as helpful as I can as I grow as a quilter to any new person that asks me questions. Of course as it stands at the moment--that's going to be a ways down the road...over a big hill ... down the other side of that big hill and around a longgggggg curve from now! :lol:

When I'm done, they fold up and go back behind the sofa.

Now that's a good idea! That way I wouldn't have to take my office apart each time I needed my long table. Good point. :-D
