Since I can no longer work on the floor, I bought a piece of plywood and cut it to fit my ironing board--a little longer and somewhat wider than the ironing board. I covered it with a fleece-lined picnic table cloth. I start in the middle and center my quilt. I smooth it out and glue it. Then move it and smooth and glue. When I have done the center of the quilt, I iron it, and then move to another section and repeat. This works for me. Sure saves the knees and the back.
