I have to tell you a funny, though. I'm a very visual person and I really had trouble not having everything laid out on the floor. First the backing was not long enough, then before I realized that, I cut the batting to match. Hence, both pieces were too small. Soooooo, I turned the backing to the longer dimension and added a "border" piece of fabric to the top of the backing. Then, of course, I had to piece the batting back together. All is well now, though. :lol: I'll let you know when I get to the other end of the quilt sandwich if everything comes out even.

I sandwich mine on a large table at work and pin in sections while sitting at the table. When a section is done, I fold the rows up, loosen the tape that holds the backing taught, and pull it toward me to work on the next section as far as I can reach. My back has not complained - and believe me, it would.

I spray baste my quilts. For the larger ones it takes 3 tables and sometimes I have to shift them. I tape down the back, smooth the batting over the back then lift half the batting and spray the backing fabric, smooth that down (I always have 2nd person), lift the other half, spray, smooth. Then I smooth the top over the entire quilt, lift back half, spray, smooth, lift back other half, spray and smooth.

Ouch! I use quilting straight pins to secure the layers and I hand baste the entire quilt. I think it takes me as long to baste as it does to quilt. Am I the only person who does this? Beautiful quilt - I love black, red and white!!!

I am a longarmer and I use Sharon Schamber's technique. I am currently working on a quilt that is 90" X 90", so you know that could be a back breaker if I were pinning it on a table or on the floor.
I don't do anything on the floor since I have a dog that sheds and you know that could be a hairy situation no matter how well I clean.
I go to Sharon Shambers website for lots of helpful information. She is super!!! Here is her web address. She has lots of free information. You don't have to be a member for some of it; however becoming a member is well worth it.
Have a great day!
