I also have a round table, but can put a couple leaves to make it oval. I use the clips. I center the quilt sandwich, clip it down, pin the center, then move the sandwich in what ever direction I need to work on next, clipping it after each move. I works fine for me. Helps that I don't have to reach so far to pin the centers also. I can set to pin. Sure saves my back and knees!

You can use them on any shape table, just use more clamps.

I clamped down the backing, sprayed it, then layered the batting and re clamped. Then sprayed again and layered the top re reclamped again and pinned. NO WRINKLES IN THE BACK!!YAY! :D :D

I got this idea from my community quilts group. That's how we do it there.

I don't have a large enought workspace at home so I go the our church and use 2 tables put together in the fellowship hall. Works great.

When I started layering the batting and backing on my California King I used these. The clamps were old and broke before I was finished. I turned to my stationery drawer and took the big clips you use to hold many sheets of paper together. I also used paper tape (painters tape). All 3 things worked.
