Thanks, Jan, I knew I could rely on to you give me some good advice. I just need to remember "smooth" and not "taut".

I just can't do it your way. I simply call a LQS and ask to use their tables when it is convenient to them. I have also used the tables at church.

Those long tables put together make it so much easier for me.

However, I now have my HQ, so don't need to do that except for the smaller quiltlets.
