Like Tartan, I use pool noodles to baste quilts. Here is one of the best videos that show the process. I generally roll the back and top on my large board ironing board as they are freshly pressed. You can make the noodles as long as you need if you have a table long enough to work on. Do a search of this forum for pool noodle basting. There have been several threads about it.
here is the video link:
