OMGoodness, what a great response. I'll have to try this method. I'm assuming the boards are fairly inexpensive. Thanks ladies!

One word of advice...do not store standing up in a corner. My boards warped and are hard to use.
I have done a king size with a friend's help. I used a card table and raised it to the level of my dining room table with flat cans of catfood.

If you want a free way, when you go to the fabric store or go to a carpet store and they will give you the cardboard tube that they throw away. I keep the ones out of batting. Also a good way to store fabric and help get the wrinkles out of fabric. There are several lengths as well.

Yes I use this method but it is limited to size of your pieces of wood and available space. It works very well.

Just went and found this, didn't see it on here but that is where it is from.

There is a wonderful tute here on this board. Sorry I can't remember who posted it right off hand. Perhaps doing a search will bring it up, or maybe someone here remembers who it is. I do know there were wonderful photos. Good luck.
