Wall Method or Schamber Method
Also, I too have used the Schamber method and love it. Just requires purchase and storage of those long boards.

Duct tape definetly stretches your fabric and can leave a nasty sticky residue.But I had the same problem So what I ended up doing is using safety pins --run the end of pin horizontally into carpet. Now I have a quilt frame I attached to the wall.All it is basically is 1/2 in.thick x 1 in. wide boards that have 1inch long nails protruding out 3/4 inch apart.These nails are barely thicker than strait pins.Each hole would have to be drilled first then push the nail through.The side rails are adjustable for width and the bottom rail is also adjustable for length. I put a 1 inch thick block for spacer at center and both ends on top and bottom rails.----So how handy is your DH

I recently saw a video from someone showing how she layered her quilt on a wall. Try googling it. I have had great luck using Harriet Hargraves instructions for laying a large quilt on a table. Actually, her book is fantastic for it's instructions.

Have you thought of renting space at your local quilt shop to baste the layers together? I know people who even rent the long arm frame long enough to pin baste the sandwich together. Give your LQS a call.

Pinkiris ~~ Mahalo for the link.
I just took a one day class on making a French Braid Runner. I used flower pins to put the sandwich together (because I accidently left the safety pins at home), then got busy and haven't gotten to the quilting yet.
This is a good small project to try out the Elmer's Washable School Glue basting technique on. The flower pins will be easy to remove and replace with Elmer's.

House Dragon--I think if you read this thread, http://www.quiltingboard.com/main-f1...e-t198969.html, you'll get a good idea about glue basting. I found it very informative.
