And I'm pleased to say that after the first one, it actually now takes far less time than the other methods.

The bigger the quilt, the longer the boards. But as long as the majority of the (rolled) weight sits atop the table, it doesn't matter too much what size the table is. I particularly love being able to comfortably sit in one spot and baste a full-sized quilt with predictable results.

Hope you find these helpful too. Go to:

This is for basting as I found out, but it also worked on keeping out the puckers.
