Thanks :)
I sometimes use the floor. Best is when I go to my LQS. They have a day they set aside for customers to bring their projects and use their work area to sandwich quilts. One tip I found helpful. I'm short so have difficulty in getting the centers smooth in large quilts. Then I spotted my husband's cheap yardstick. I laid it out over the quilt, turned it on its side and started sweeping it over the quilt. Smoothed the sandwich layers out much better than my hands.
