This is Sharon Schamber's method of basting a quilt, using boards - no more ruined knees! This is a 2-part video, be sure to see the next one too!

I am sorry you have had such health problems. I am 46 and have reached the point that it takes half the room just for me to stand up after I get down. No more popping up like I used to.

I tried Sharon Schamber's method after seeing a tutorial on this site and I really like it. Not only is it easier on the body than getting down on the floor, but it is easier on my hands not having to close so many safety pins, it is easier to cut / remove threads as needed than to remove safety pins and the sandwiched quilt lays a lot smoother.

This is the link to the tutorial here: http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-91013-1.htm. Folding tables work great and can be easily stored when not needed. I love my folding tables and use them for other quilting and non-quilting purposes, then just fold them up and out of the way when not needed.
