Clip, Clip, Clip all around the table. Next start to pin the quilt. When area is pinned unclip everything and move to next section. Pin, pin and pin some more. This method saved my back. The table can be made taller w/bedrisers.
I think I like this idea and could manage it. I could even sit on my couch with pillows if I was hurting with my Fibro and/or could be using the heating pad at the same time. Actually if I can find a shorter table that would be even better to do lap quilts. I'll go searching for one this weekend cause I have several doll quilts to do for Christmas gifts.
