I have a countertop that's about a yard wide. So I an clamp part of the quilt back on, layer the batt and the top, and pin it. Then I unclamp it, move everything over and keep going. It's not ideal, but it works.

Since I currently don't make anything larger than a twin, my dinning room table works for me.

I use two identical ironing boards, raised to the same height. Then, I put two 3 x 6' pieces of plywood on them. Cover the plywood with contact paper and then spread out your quilt and clamp it to the sides all around. You will have to move the quilt as it probably won't all fit onto the basting surface at once. Start in the middle and work around. You can also walk around it which helps. Yes, it is a pain to put up and take down, but it's better than not being able to get up off the floor.

I used my old dining room table, which was huge when I put in the leaves. It fit a twin size quilt beutifully, unfortunately, we a couldn't bring it with us when we moved to an apt. I do have the very large craft mat from JoAnn's which I put on my dining room table,but I need to put both leaves in to make the table larger, and it works fairly well. If I can, my girlfriend and I meet at my old church where we can use the large baquet tables in the basement, and with 2 people it goes fairly quickly. I need to do that again when she can free up some time for me. I also use a chair when I am pin basting the quilt, cutting fabric, laying out patterns,etc., as my back doesn't let me stand for long periods of time, but over the years I've adjusted to what my body tells me to do. If you can,invite a quilting friend for coffee - basting quilts would be easier and you can talk and baste at the same times,making it fun instead of a chore. Happy quilting.

Local library has a meeting room with tables, and it can be used if nothing else is happening in there.

Awhile back I purchase three hollow core doors at Home Depot. Depending on the size of my quilt I use 2 or 3 of them placed on top of my dining room table. Use masking tape to hold them together and put an old sheet betweem the top of my table and the doors making it easier to slide the doors.

Fortunately, I have a cutting table I can use or I have 2 folding banquet tables if I need the extra width and put them on risers to save my back. My girlfriend however uses large pieces of cardboard, removes the bedding from a bed and uses it as she cannot get on the floor either. Seems to work.

Same problem here. I have done it but it's not pretty. I saw an illustration of how it's done on a table, by draping the long ends over the side and pinning from the middle out, and I did that with one smaller quilt. I also read (here on QB) about buying a couple of saw horses and a large sheet of plywood for using outside with basting spray....though you could use it inside, as well, if you have room, I suppose. But where to put the plywood when not in use is my problem since I no longer have a garage (it's now part of a room).

I use my cutting table ,the design board works also.

on the dining room table, it its is a large quilt I tape and baste one side then the other side. works great for me!
