You have made it look so easy and I am sure I shall be able to master this method without any trouble, I may do a smaller quilt unill I get the hang of it.

Gal,
I actually ENJOY basting this way; it's practically pain free (unless I prick my finger with the needle ;) ). It gives me a time to examine my quilt top as I'm basting and start planning how I'll actually quilt it.
If you can find them, be sure to get tables that adjust to counter height. That way you don't have to lean over them and you'll have no back problems with basting either. If you cannot find tables the right height, you can raise them by cutting pieces of pvc pipe to slip over the ends of the legs to raise the tables to a comfortable level.
