A friend who is in three quilt groups helped me put together a quilt for quilting. We went to our church and put together two of the 8 foot tables. Put down the backing and stretch it taut, fastening around the edges with the larger bulldog clips found at office supply stores. Spread out the batting (which you have unrolled previously to let it relax) over the backing and smooth out well. Then put the quilt top over these two. Stretch it taut by securing a spot on each side, then on each end. Then gradually work out from each clip so it will be evenly stretched. Then pin with large safety pins about a fist width apart. This worked for me and she does all her quilts this way. I had no trouble with wrinkles. Using a walking foot would help also.
