Necessity is the mother of invention!! And we quilters always find a way!!

May ask a church to use their long tables for stretching your quilts. Maybe you could paint one of their walls for 'payment!'

Let us know if you get permission. Maybe you can offer to teach a class there on sandwiching quilts.

That is so funny. Please make sure you don't burn yourself ironging while on the wall. :)

Try using a steamer like they use for hanging dresses. I used one when we were making my friends wedding veil and it worked great.Just a thought.

schools and churches will sometimes let you do that also

I haven't read all of the posts, so I hope I'm not repeating anything. I have had the wrinkle problem before. Once the quilt layers are "stretched" and pinned together,etc. most of the wrinkles will relax and work themselves out. And those that don't won't matter. After all, this is a quilt. Good luck. BTW, I like the wall idea.

I've found when I didn't have enough space, I went to a local library - they usually have a meeting room with long table that can be moved so that I can put my quilt back on it. I use masking tape to stretch out the wrinkles and hold it in place while I put the batting and the top in place. I have used spray adhesive to hold the batting and the top layers in place, but I rely on safety pins to hold everything together. Beats ruining your wall!!!

I know what you mean. If I want to sandwich anything bigger than a throw, I have to use a table at camp or church. We have some at work but (l0l ) they expect me to work when I'm there. Oh well at least I have several places I know I can go and do it. : :)
