I’m not exactly sure what you are asking. I use the board method. Pulling the boards (I do them separately) allows you to get the fabric taut so you don’t have any wrinkles on the back. I also am constantly pushing the fabric away from me (where I’m doing the herringbone stitch) so the area I am stitching is nice and flat. Occasionally, I do separate the quilt top, batting and backing layers and flatten everything out again. Make sense. I love this method and have not had any wrinkles on the back. I do stitch the herringbone closer than I probably have to and it does take time but I put music on and go to work. I am contemplating basting a large (105x120”) quilt top vs. having someone LA baste it or LA SID. Here’s an of my herringbone basting.
