I use a "banquet table." I bought it at "Smart and Final." It's your ordinary banquet table-brown on top, 6 feet by 2'. I use XL office clips you can get at Staples or Office Depot to hold the layers in place, usually starting with the center of the quilt on the center of the table. Once it's all pinned, remove clips and do the same for the remaining sides that need to be pinned. I can do most of it sitting, saving my back. you can also use PVC pipe or some kind of blocks (similar to ones you can use to raise a bed up) to make the table taller if you prefer to stand. I've done a lot of quilts this way--works for me!
