BoyKim, I have fought with this problem too...and what I've done on the twin-size I'm quilting now, is use the spray-basting...I have sprayed in 1/3's, starting with the middle, and so far, I'm on the 2nd third, it's stayed really nice and smooth. This way I don't have to wrestle the whole thing on the floor. I can use the counter for each section. don't know about doing something really big tho. But so far this is working for me. Good Luck! ~deb~
