Thank you for responding.
In my "neck of the woods" "floating" a quilt means to pin the backing to the canvas rollers, layer the batting on and stitch it down at the top edge of the backing, then lay the quilt top on the batting, stitching or pinning it at the top - then letting the quilt top "float" as you are quilting, allowing you to straighten, tug, push or pull to line the top up as you quilt and roll.
That's what it means on this side of Missouri, too.
Ahh, great minds think alike (grin)
