Has anyone else tried this method?

This can be done with any size quilt with a minor investment of a few boards and it really works. There is a part one and part two videos.

Hope you find it useful.

I use this method all the time for anything wider than a baby quilt. The more you do it, the faster you get at it. Never any creases or tucks on the batting. I think the video shows hand-basting, but I use spray basting. If the project is really big, I will add some pins, because I quilt on a 9 in. harp machine, and on a large quilt, that can involve a lot of repositioning. Adding the pins helps avoid any shifting of the sandwich layers when pushing and pulling through the harp.
