Thank you ladies for all your suggestions...I will try some of these and see which works best for me. You all are so kind and helpful...God Bless

hold it with clamps
 

I use clamps - the type for woodworking which I buy at the dollar store. Several placed around the edge of the table hold the quilt nice and tight . They are easy to move when one section is basted and you are ready to move on.

rainagade, i use the painters tape also but recently when I removed the tape the last one took some of the stuff with it onto the fabric,have you ever had this problem and how did you get it off your fabric. My first time

I use Sharon Schamber's method of basting on tables using long boards to roll the quilt top and backing on. Here's a tute I did a while back: http://www.quiltingboard.com/tutoria...mq-t91013.html

Dublb, Thank-you sew much for that great link :). I watched part of #1 video and saw she was very patient and explained it in east to understand terms.

We go to our church and use three large tables put together. Tape the backing onto the tables. It is a lot easier than crawling on the floor!

I like to use a few tables at the library or our church basement, works so much better than crawling on the floor.

I layer it on my bed. I take the bedding off down to the fitted sheet then lay the backing and smooth it out good, then add the batting and carefully smooth it then add the top and do the same. WHen I'm sure it is all nice and smooth I slip my really large cutting matt under the middle smooth a little more and start pinning, move the matt as needed and continue. It works out great and have had no problem with folds plus it saves my back and knees.

You're welcome. :)
She is very clear isn't she? Video 2 is so clear about spray basting on the wall.
