Yes, I meant "really, really good"! Let me see if I can sort of explain...
she uses two straight boards, rolls the quilt top on one, and the backing on the other. Then she rolls them back out, on a wide table top, a section at a time with the batting in between and bastes with tatting thread as she goes. When she's done with one section, she just rolls out some more and keeps on going. I tried it on the last couple of baby quilts I did and it worked like a charm! No crawling around on the floor across the quilt sandwich and no painful safety pins.
