I clip my quilts with binder clips on a large piece of plywood and stretch taunt but not too tight. If yo stretch backing too tight then when it is released it will pucker. I start clipping on one side edge of the so I m doing about 1/2 the quilt and then after I have attached both batting and top then I move the top so the other half is on the board, clip the sandwiched half and then clip the backing on the other half etc. By doing it this way then I am only moving the sandwich 1 time. I do not start in the middle out. Also I have found that I get way less puckers on the top with spray basting then pinning since the top and backing are "glued" in place and will not move.
