Then I used C clamps to hold the 4 boards together once I had my sandwich tacked to it. I put mine on the back of four dining room chairs in the middle of my family room. And yes you start on the outer edge and work toward the center rolling the two sides inward. The quilt rolls around the board. A permanent setup can be attached to cables or rope and raised to store over a bed or wherever. They are quick and easy to use especially if you get a couple working on it at the same time.
