I have been using Mary Ellen's Best Press on the backing to give it some stability. I have a large (60X80) table that I leave it to rest on for a couple hours. I have my own long arm, so I just gently roll the backing for transport from basement sewing room to quilting room. If I am not going to quilt it right away, then I lay the batting and quilttop on the backing and gently roll that up to wait for the next step.
