You've answered a question for me. I have terrible problems with layering quilts, because I don't have a big wall/floor/table and don't know of anywhere else I could go to do this job. Just this evening I was struggling to sandwich a quilt in a cramped space on the floor, and ended up with puckers in the back as usual. As I read the posts here I was wondering if it might be better to start with the batting, as it's less likely than the backing fabric to pucker, spray baste and put the backing on it, then turn it and add the top. You've given me a method AND the great idea of using a bed. Thankyou!
