First, go to Lowes and buy four of the 6 ft folding tables that fold in the middle. They are easy to store and easy to set up. Lay the batting on top of the tables. Lay backing fabric on top of the batting, getting it even and smooth. Fold back half the backing. Stream Elmers's Washable glue over the exposed batting. Smooth any big globs of glue. Fold backing over the glue and smooth. Fold the opposite half of the backing and repeat. Smooth everything once finished. Let dry and flip over and do the same with the quilt top. I add a little water to my glue to make it easier to stream out the bottle. If I'm in a hurry, I can press iron and have the glue dry faster. I glue right to the edges. My quilt top and backing aren't moving anywhere, no wrinkles, no puckers. That's where the large table tops are so important. All the quilt is laying flat.
