I use the dining room table or the conference table at my office. Place a straight pin at the center sides, top, and bottom of all layers. Lay backing wrong side up. Fold batting into quarter so it is easy to handle. Place onto the backing matching two of the pins. Unfold matching the rest of the pins. Spray baste if using as you go. Pins are simply a placement marker to help line up all the layers. Important if you have directional prints.
Repeat with the quilt top. Smooth each layer as you go. Pin the layers together if using them.
