I've tried this and it was quite successful for smaller quilts, but I got in a mess with a bigger one! I had trouble finding clips that would go round my table edge and the quilt.

There's a detailed explanation of the table and clamp method in Harriet Hargrave's book 'Heirloom Machine Quilting'. You don't need as large a table for that.

I use the clamp method. I bought a large piece of thin laminate/wood that I place on top of my cutting table so the clamps easily clamp on. When not in use the big board rests up against the wall in my sewing room. Works great as my sewing/cutting table is quite big too so it well supports the thinner "clamping" board. I tried Sharon Schambers' board method and didn't like it at all....just me I guess.

I'm getting ready to quilt some placemats and didn't know whether to pin baste (as I do with bedsize quilts) or sew in some basting stitches. I'm hesitant to try the spray, due to possible stickiness. I'll go with pin basting. Thanks for helping me decide, quilters!

I have to get new piece of wood. DH needed my basting wood. But love her videos also. Just make sure no bows in the wood or knots.
