If you can get your hands on Harriet Hargraves Heirloom machine quilting book she gives a good description with pictures on how to do it on a smaller table using those spring loaded vice grips. I did an 80" square quilt that way on my sewing machine table with the machine down in its little hidey hole and it worked pretty good. You baste an area, unclip then move it over and baste another section.

Yes you can use a smaller table. Center the layers. Let excess hang over edge. This will help stretch the layers.
Smooth and pin or needle baste. Then grab a side or end and pull the unpinned section over the top of the table.
Continue this until the entire quilt is basted. You can baste a king size on a card table using this method.
