Quiltlady330, This is the way we have always done the quilts at church and we just tie them. No puckers allowed and it is so much easier. The batting is put on the frame and secured on all 4 sides then the batting is smoothed over then the top is put on and we usually pin around the edges. Then we all start in a spot on one of the edges and gave a 'quilting bee'. Depending on the number of gals and size of quilts we have been known to get 7 or 8 done in a 3 hours. Not a wrinkle in the bunch either.... Good luck!
