usually use the floor in the parlor as it is the room with the least furniture to move.have also used the gym at the local preschool;folks like to watch me put them together and i have helped several folks over the year start learning about fabrics and quilts.it's a nice hobby for busy moms as it doesnt seem to matter how long it takes to do and can be done on a shoestring budget.

I use bulletin board tacks, My walls are yucky anyway so I don't care and when I paint the little holes go away.

Mine roll up on my quilting frame. (Good thing, because I've got a bad knee and can't get down in the floor. Well, actually, getting DOWN there isn't the problem. I just can't get back UP! :lol: )

Ask at your church if you can use some tables to pin-baste your quilt. If you are lucky to have a LQS near by ask them if you can use their classroom. It doesn't take more than 2 hours or so.

I have a large table that DH made for me in my sewing room. I use binder clips to hold down the back and then layer the batting and top. On really large tops I have to shift the sandwich and re-anchor it.

Check with your local library. There is often a "community" type room with long folding tables. I put about three tables together for a queen or king size and I'm set! More fun to do with a friend. Might not be possible with basting spray though!

That's a great idea! :thumbup:

I use my driveway, on an inexpensive blue tarp......

What is MDF?? Sorry if this is a dumb question.

Our library has a meeting room -they let us use the tables there as long as the room isn't booked for an event. We just have to call in and ask and they tell if the room will be empty. Hope you can find a place to baste.
