I use Sharon Schamber's method with 2 1x4 white primed boards and 2 pool noodles taped together for the batting. There is a video. I use one or two tables to support it. You only need the width of the quilt. My last one was 72x90, so I needed a space 78 by by at least 30. 36 is better. SS has a video, plus there are some pool noodle videos. I like the weight of the boards to hold the unrolled section in place while I pin.
