I don't tape mine down and I do all my pining on my queen sized bed as having had back surgeries, this is the perfect height for me. But then again, my bed takes a step stool to get into. When I could sit and bend more, I used my floor!

Or if they are 48x60 I can add 2 folding tables around my cutting table and use that, since I need room to tape down my backing.
I have a 60x80 and a 97x114 quilt to sandwich and I can't seem to figure a way to tape it down except for on the hard tile floor and get on my knees. I'm not young anymore and it's getting difficult to be on my knees. Any suggestions on how you sandwich your larger quilts?
I know, I know, I can stick to smaller quilts, but sometimes I just get ahead of myself because I love scrap quilts and my creations can get larger than anticipated.
Any advise?
