I strip the bed down to the mattress and can even do a King size on the bed, takes a bit of moving and practice but have done all mine on a queen size bed... and the backing seems to hug the mattress and likewise the batting and top... Try it you may like it.... have been quilting since 1986 and have always done it that way.... No floor space and now can't get down on my knees..

We have a few banks here in town that have Community Rooms available to use. You have to call and tell them when you need it, but they are nice and large and well lit. The one I've used did not charge to use the room.

I had ironed it the other nigt and it got wrinkled just sitting folded up in my room for the last couple days (at least it wasn't as bad as it was before I ironed it the first time). Refused to take the backing off the wall.......so here I am literally ironing the wall to get the wrinkles out of my backing fabric. I'm hoping no one walks in because I probably look like I'm not the brightest crayon in the box right now. lol.

Jade, Whatever surg. you r going to have, my thoughts & prayers will be with you. I understand the anxiety "the wait" can stir up. Usually worse than the surg. but then you're knocked out for the surg.! Please post how you r doing when you get home as soon as you feel up to it to let us know how our 'genius' is doing! Patty

you have to watch Sue Scharman video on basting. It is the best way to sandwich when you don't have lots of room. ( uses 2 boards that help keep every thing tight and out of the way. I think it has changed my life. It is in the free section on her website. Rita
