No - I'm not eating in my bedroom.
I've sandwiched quilts on the floor - with painter's tape to hold it down.
I've also sandwiched on tables with clamps - I usually do this with a friend at our church building or school - we're both teachers.
Recently I've found that sandwiching on a double bed is working great.
The comforter on the bed seems to grip the quilt and keep it from scootching around. The curvature of the edge of the bed seems to pull at the quilt. The height is good - this is an OLD bed and is higher than today's style.
I was taught to pin from the center of the quilt, but I'm now pinning from the bottom of the bed - the edge of the quilt. I stand at the foot of the bed - put in a row or two of pins - lifting the quilt slightly to prevent pinning the quilt to the bed spread - then roll the pinned area and gently pull the unpinned part of the quilt towards the foot of the bed. This way I'm not leaning over quite so far (I'm VERY short!). I end up with a rolled bundle that I unroll halfway to start the first quilting line on my machine - scallop near a ditch is my usual method - that or cross hatching - very simple things.
I've also started pinning them upside down - the backing on top. For some reason I don't have wrinkles this way. As I machine quilt from the top I have to reach under to remove the pins, but that's not been a big deal.
I also spray starch the dickens out of both the top and backing before I start.
Does anyone else do it this way? A few of you have mentioned sandwiching on the bed - is this how you do it? Is there something you put on there to keep from pinning the quilt to the spread? Are there refinements that would make this better? I was avoiding finishing quilts and now find that I don't mind doing them.
This works for crib to lap size. Generous lap size and larger I get a friend and clamp to tables.
