Pool Noodles and Elmer's Glue
Found noodles at the dollar store...Halloween colors...lol. Bought 3. Now need to sew up a top real quick to try the noodle roll basting with Elmer. Wish me luck.

You can also use pool noodles on larger quilts as well. You can join the noodles together by using a piece of PVC pipe that will fit the center of the noodle - usually 3/4 to 1 inch in diameter and about 12 inches long. Stick the pipe in the end of one noodle, add the other noodle to the other end of the pipe and secure with duct tape. Cut the noodles to fit what you need if you don't need the length of 2 noodles. You can put tables end to end to accommodate the length of the noodles and it works beautifully. The last quilt I did using that method was a queen size with no problems.

Everyone has wonderful ideas for these pool noodles and thank you to all. I am going to just roll a big quilt up around a pool noodle and head to my long armer and this way it will have a few less wrinkles in it.
