I am lucky, in that, I live in a bldg. that has a dining hall down the hall. I go in there and push several tables together and then lay out my quilt. I have learned to put the top down first...use glue stick all over ...or sometimes elmer's glue...then lay the batting down...more glue..then the backing. I iron it all over to make it set. I absolutely love this process...because I no longer have to pin the daylights out of it. No pins! I hate pinning! Then I can machine quilt it and not have to run into pins. Using the tables puts the whole thing up where I can handle it. Possibly a local library would let you use their tables. Mine does. Have fun.
