Sandwich your quilt on a large convenient surface

I like to quilt my own quilts. Problem: I am unable to get on the floor to sandwich a quilt. I would love to hear how others have dealt with this since I can't believe I'm the only one. Please help!

for large quilts to pin, check with your church, local senior center or library and ask if you may use their banquet tables for about an hour.
Most would be happy to let you pin your quilt. |
I take all the blankets, sheets, and mattress pads off a king-size bed and sandwich it on there. It has worked fine for me.

Easy peasy and no crawling on the floor and no sticky mess to clean up!!!!!!! |
I have quilt frames. The 100 year old sticks are for a double bed at the largest, so my son made me two 9 foot sticks with the baseboards that came out of the house in which I live. This was really good wood. Then last year I made two 48 inch sticks for baby quilts and wall hangings. I have stapled a strip of denim on all of these, and they go together with bolts. When the quilt is pinned onto these, there are no wrinkles! Our neighbor, George, threatened to use our stretched quilts for a trampoline. In my kitchen I set it up over the counter with chairs holding the other two corners. In my living room I use the dining table under the frame and chairs under corners that are not supported by the table. When our homemakers club ties quilts for charity, we go to the town hall and use the long tables there.

I use the tables at our church fellowship hall. So much of the time it isn't being used, so they let me push tables together & pin my quilts there. You might even find some others that are in the same boat that would want to do the same & you could make a day of it. Just an idea! Hope you work it out so you can pin in a little more comfortable manner.

I use two long tables from Office Depot. I keep them against the wall when not in use.
