I either go to my church and lay a quilt on in there dining room or I go to the Senior Center and use their tables. Getting down on the floor is not an option for me LOL

I use an old kitchen table. Often I have to work a section at a time since the quilt is bigger than the table. I've also used the kitchen island, but only that's only a section at a time too. There's no way I could use the floor because of my knees!

I do the same as YC Quilter. You can also pin baste this way. There are lots of videos about basting on You Tube. DH has even got in on it. Yeah you can get 2 people basting the same quilt at the same time. I do it on a 6' folding utility table and have used my kitchen table.

I tape mine to the floor, but recently I watched a video from Kismet Smith showing how she makes her sandwich using 3 pool noodles. It was posted in a FB group so if you search for her if you belong to FB you should be able to find it. I don't think I can put a FB link in here.

I also use the Sharon Schamber board method. I'm amazed that some of you ladies are getting down on the floor to baste. I'm so far beyond being able to do that!

See if you LQS has a classroom available. That is what I use to do. I now use the senior center when I am able to get a lift.

I'll have to look that up since I can't picture just what is being done here.

I'm only 50 and I'm sure the floor thing won't work forever for me. Good to know there's other ways. Thanks for the ideas.

I live in a camper, so no place big enough. Sometimes I use an opened cardboard box on our bed & work there, or if my back is hurting real bad, I use the clip hangers from dept. stores to hang the back, batting and quilt top from. That way gravity helps keep it smooth as I pin. Otherwise, I use the community center to pin large quilts. I understand sometimes JoAnn Fabrics allows people to use one of their classrooms if it's not being used. Good luck!
