When I had an area to "tape" a quilt I did what Skeat and the others did...
I taped my backing then the middle and then the top....then pinned and pinned...
But, I have found that I can tape a backing creatively to my dining table and legs (queen size or smaller on a small table), spray and then layer and spray then layer then pin...
It works...
But the BIGGEST Thing!!!! for me was...the spring back...after quilting the middle
I found when starting in the middle to quilt, if I took the time to adjust the pins (after doing that first round or straight seam) then I didn't get any wrinkles...I didn't have to baste as much after getting the first middle (round) done then worked out from there.
Hope this helps...
