Also, I pinned about 4" apart. I am going to study this tutorial.

I pull my backing real taut without overstretching and tape it down with painter's tape. (Usually, I work on large tabled pushed together at work to do this) Then I lay the batting down in halves and smooth it out on top, patting as I go. I repeat with the top and pin about hand-width apart.
Then I check the back and make sure all is smooth.
By using that method, I have had no puckers using the alking foot for SID or other straight stitch quilting.

My husband went to home depot and got me 2 8 ft straight boards, he painted and sanded them and now I put the leaf in our dinning room table and set and pin I do as Sharon does only I pin. Works great and no pleats on the back.

Once pinned remove from the floor and turn over and check that the batting is smooth I sometimes have to repin some sections.. another way is to use bull clips to hold the backing onto a table then pin batting etc
