yes, I have a suggestion that works for me, because I have the same problems and no H Frame to hope for. This is hard to explain so I am going to route you to two you-tubes so you can see for your self. The basic technique is to roll your quilt top, on one long board (I use a floor board), and roll the backing on another floor board, lay both boards on the dining room table and sit down. Unroll the boards about 18" at a time and baste your sandwich while you sit and reach comfortably. I do King size quilts this way. http://colormequilty.blogspot.com/20...d-basting.html

I have always hand basted my quilts, or pin basted.....but it is time to get with the 21st century and elmer glue baste the parts together for the sake of our hands and backs. http://sarasquiltingcorner.blogspot....-tutorial.html


So watch/read these tutorials or you-tubes. (there are many more examples on the internet) and just try this on a small quilt to get the hang of it...you will never turn back.
