I have found you do not need to have multiple tables to baste or pin your quilts. It helps if you can get to a long table, but not necessary. Just layer the quilt, placing the middle on the table and be sure to smooth all layers together as you go - thus the entire quilt "sandwich" is evenly put together and smoothed. If it's easier, put "sandwich" together on the floor, then gently lift to table. Baste or pin from the center out in all directions. Then gently slide the quilt one direction, ensure it's still smooth, and continue with the basting & pinning. Repeat this until it's all basted or pinned. I travel full-time in an rv and use this method whenever I'm not up to the achy body from floor basting & pinning. Hope this helps.
