Trouble is, I'm having a real hard time getting down on the floor these days. There must be an easier way.
I drape mine over a table that is 52"x52", and the weight that hangs off the sides keeps everything taut while I pin. As I get each section pinned, I then slide the quilt over to do another section. Before I got this table, I used 2 plastic fold up tables put together and it worked well to.
