I have high overhead cabinets & like to get the tops of the backing, batting & quilt top in a spring clip hanger like you get with certain clothing & I hang it up. Gravity helps to keep it wrinkle free & you can pin baste or my new favorite way is to use the Dritz Quilter's Basting Gun with the little plastic tacks like on hang tags in stores. It's fast, super easy & I don't have to worry about running over pins with my sewing machine! I live in a camper, so space is really precious!! ;-)
