I second looking at Leah Day.com. She is very thorough and easy to follow. When you lay your backing out, don't pull it, or it will bounce back and cause puckers. Just make it very smooth and "taut" but not stretched. I glue baste with Elmer's washable school glue and don't ever have any puckers and don't need to get down on the floor. And when dry does not gum up the needle. I'm over 20 quilts in with it.
