Sandwich a Large Quilt on a Small Table - VIDEO
 

ENJOY! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jnke_KzeTI8 :)

Her video was great. Thanks!

I love this video - especially when her kids correct her pronunciation of skewers. A good method I think.

Thanks for the link. I'm still crawling on the floor. Used to be ok when we had carpet but now we have hard wood. Ouch.

Good video thanks. It's fun to watch someone having a good time and teaching too Love the credits LOL

Wonderful video! Thanks sew much! My back thanks you too! (grin)

Definitely going to try this as I hate crawling around on the floor!

That is very helpful. Thanks for sharing.

I've tried this method--only using a Craftsy class tute and putting the skewers at the edge of the table instead of in the center.

I have her video saved in my favorites Helped friend sandwich hers just the other day. She sent it to her LArmer, anxious to see how it looks. That'll be about 4 weeks before she gets it back.

Cindy Needham's class (Design It, Quilt It) on Craftsy shows a similar method. I'd combine methods from both and use the skewers, instead of safety pins, but also tape skewers to the half way points on two edges of the table. If you just fold your backing, batting and top in quarters, this is sufficient. Really no need to press a crease at these points. Line the quartered fabric up with your skewers, lay on the table, unfold and gently spread out. I personally would use more than 6 binder clips and have used my husband's squeeze clamps instead of the large binder clips. It's what I had available and they work fine. They do stick out further, when clamped to the edge of the table, but I just work around them. Since I found out about this method, it's the only way I sandwich a quilt - no matter the size. My table is smaller than the one shown in the video and it still works fine. I just need to move the sandwiched layers and reclamp more often.

Great video. I had learned it in a quilting class I took a couple years' ago but forgot how to do it.

I am going to try this because it is getting harder and harder to get down on the floor and crawl around.

Great videos - thanks so much for sharing it!

Thanks for the link.
