I watched the Sharon Schamber video and it does look easy on the size she uses, like a wall hanging. But has anyone used this method for a queen or king quilt? I wish she had used a large size to show how she does that. Would she use longer boards, or perhaps do the center section first and then move to the sides? If you have used this method on a large quilt, I'd appreciate your input.

I sandwich on my dining room table. Put the backing down and use clamps from the tool box to hold it in place. Then the batting and top float on top. I pin-baste. I put the pin in, when it hits the table, I pivot it up and close it. I have never had pleats in the back or any other problem with the sandwich.

The marble idea is a stroke of GENIUS! Thank you thank you! I currently use the tape and cutting mat method. I can't wait to give this idea a whirl!!!

I just gave up the whole "taping and crawling around on the floor" nonsense and I use Sharon Schamber's sensible two board method sitting at a table.

I loved all of the ideas but the marble was one I had never heard before and it makes sense.....great tip.

When I place my 3 layers onto the carpet, I baste with long stitches. Then I place safety pins on that area. I start in the middle and work my way toward the edging. The basting stitches hold the pieces together so I can smooth out the backing while I'm hand quilting.

I just purchased two boards to do the Sharon Schambers method. Here's hoping!
