I have made one quilt using the boards for basting (Sharon Schambers method). I found a table at Wal-Mart which has hinges in the middle and the legs fold up. When opened up, it is six feet long and when it is folded, it is very thin and will slide behind a chair in the den to get it out of the way. It is 30 inches wide. I sat on my couch in the den and watched TV while basting. It worked great and I had no puckers when quilting it. I plan to do all my quilts this way from here on. I don't remember the exact price of the table but it was very reasonable. I would recommend this method. Good Luck.
