I leave my batting and backing larger than my quilt top. The top is truly square. I layer it just like a regular quilt by taping it 'taunt' to the table and then pin the heck out of it - both in area of the quilt top and along the edge.
I have 2 waiting to be sewn right now. If you'd like to see a picture of my pinning - let me know.
That sounds like it's exactly what I was trying to do. And yes, I would appreciate a picture very much! Maybe I didn't use enough pins and that's why everything shifted.
Hope this helps. Hopefully I can get these sewn this weekend and post more pictures for you...and get them FINISHED for me!
