I use my bed. I layer and then pin baste. I then flip the sandwich over to make sure that there are no wrinkles. Easier on my back than on the floor. After all is smooth, I will remove a few pins at a time and spray baste to make sure that there is no shifting since I use my regular machine to quilt. i will cover the bed with a large piece of plastic to protect from spray. A few extra steps, but it works for me.
