Rhonda K., I don't have any extra space to add something of that notion. I keep a smaller sewing machine that I put at the end of my 4 x 8 cutting table when I go to add the binding so I don't have to let it drag on the floor.
There's also no other room in my house to move my machine plus I use an Epic which is around 35# so pretty heavy for me to carry plus since having shoulder surgery, I've been told to try not to lift anything more than 10-15#.
I think by pinning my folds/pleats down the middle of the quilt while I add the sashings and borders is my best bet. Was just hoping someone could suggest something that has helped them.
