For years and years I did not have a place for a big enough table to sandwich a quilt and , if I went down on the florr to do it, I would not be able to get back up! But, I did have a big tall bed - hhmmm. I purchased 2 pieces of very inexpensive wall paneling (thin and lightweight) and had them cut it to 6 foot. I store them under the bed and just slide them out when needed. This gave me a firm surface to open up my cardboard cutting board and now I had a large firm spot to sandwich on. Added bonus was that I would clip 2 corners to the paneling to hold it firm. (It was also a great spot to cut out clothing patterns without worry of cutting thru to the bedspread!)
