I am lucky to be able to use a few large tables to do my sandwiching on but I still like to roll them as I go along. It does help me to prevent my wrinkles, I find I am able to watch for them better this way and I thought I was the daft one doing them that way. LOL i tend to press them as well and always think oh no am I too hot? Will i melt the table under me for they are a sturdy plastic.

so funny, laughing with you on this one! I tried laying out a 90 x 90 for pin basting on a twin bed!! LOL between wrinkles and pinning to the bedspread.....well to say the least. My DH thought I was nuts.
Taking my next one to our church quilting group next time..we put 4 6' tables together for sandwitching. You are a dear for sharing. |
Hey, let us know how it goes - the tacking & basting on the wall, not ironing the wall - because I don't have enough floor space either. This just might be the way to go for me. Good luck!

There's no stopping a quilter! Ingenious lot aren't we!

LOL I love this forum. There is always something on here that brightens my day. :thumbup:

wowww my DH would have a fit to see all the tack on the wall!!!
i think that would end my quilting career:) Good on you i would say you are the brightest pencil! |
I have used the library space, also quilt shops classroom space when there is not a class scheduled. Take a friend or two, everybody helps, lots of chatter, and everybody goes home with a quilt sandwich ready to go! Fun!
