I don't have enough space to do this in my sewing room either. I've got two folding tables just for this purpose and I'm set up right in the middle of the living room... When I'm done basting I lower the tables to regular height and move them to my dining room to use around my sewing machine when I freemotion to support the quilt. :) Then when I'm done with that, I fold them up and put them back in the closet until I need them again.
