This quilt can be hand quilted or machine quilted with no way it can move. It takes from 30-45 min. and since we are usually talking, it goes fast. If both or three of us all bring a quilt top to baste, we can do it in a little over an hour. It sure beats doing it by yourself and at home w/so little space.
That's what we do for the ladies that don't have frames. Our quilting group shares this work...one quilt at a time, 3 ladies pinning, we get it done in about 15 min per quilt..or less depending on size. Works great!!!
