I use my big dinning table. I put two safety pins in the center of the backing on the outside. Lay the backing on the table with the pins in the center. I then use big paper clips on the edge of the table all the way around to hold the backing in place and keep it a little taunt. I find the center of my batting and put that on top of pins. I can feel them on the backing. Then center the top on the sandwich. I use my office chair with wheels and wheel around the table pinning. When I get all that pinned, I undo the clips and move the quilt. If I need to clip some of the quilt that is pinned, I put the clips over all three layers and then flip up the top and batting that is not pinned, check the backing and proceed to clip the rest. I have done king size quilts this way. Hope this makes sense.
