Flip it all over and do the same with the quilt top.
This methods works really well, but I do generally end up with lots of fuzziness on my hands and forearms. I've gone to using Elmer's glue and a paint brush. It seems less messy to me . . . and cheaper. I'm cheap!
I do it like this mostly, and use glue. I'm in the process now. But I don't clamp the batting. Just smooth it out and then smooth first the backing and fold back and glue, then fold back and glue other side. AFter it dries, flip and smooth top. I'm on my 7th or 8th quilt this way. they are lap size but still hang over the dining room table. I just move them around. So far I am thrilled with this method.
