I use my glass topped dining table. For double size (about as big as I make). I start in the middle and do center, slide to top, then bottom. Sides, center, then top, then bottom. I use clamps from Home Depot, my hands are strong enough to open them. It works for me.

This is how I do my quilts. I hadn't used the skewers before, but I think I will try that with my next one. The larger the quilt, the more times you have to adjust it, but I don't have to get down on the floor.
