I glue baste my quilts on my table using the method below, except I fold the top in fourths to glue baste it as I layer it on top. I use thinned “Elmer’s school glue” to glue baste Nd surface dry the glue with my old hair dryer a section at a time. Worlds for me.

I spray baste mine using the homemade basting spray. Takes about 25 -30 min for a queen size quilt. I open up three folding tables and lay it out flat. I have had several quilts sprayed basted for over six months and still together. I won't use pins or thread to baste ever again.

Yep, sandwiching is a pain. I am no longer, due to knee surgery able to be on the floor. So I made my own stretching frame. I bought framing boards in various sizes, stapled muslin strips, with an overhang. Four are the same size,(8ft) which will hold a standard size bed quilt. Two are 6ft in length. Using c-clamps I can adjust the length and width to sandwich any quilt from a standard size to a table runner. Anything bigger or for show, goes to the longarmer.
