I usually do it on the floor but when I can, I put tables together where my quilting group meets (at a local elementry school) and try to get it done there. It sure beats kneeling and bending over on the floor. :P

At my local quilt store --- there are several tables I can put together and use and that's if there are no classes, etc.

They sell 2 inch thick syrofoam that is used for insulation
and Pin to that. We hung it on a wall so it is permanent.
Works wonderful for laying it out and such.

This is a very nice offer.... if I ever come through Georgia, with a quilt that needs basting....I know who to look up!
Wouldn't that be a lot of fun!!!! BTW--it is smokin' hot in GA, too!

I just strip my bed, put the sheets into wash, and use my mattress.

I have a pool table that my DH puts a piece of plywood on, really saves the knees. If not I would go up to my church and use the folding tables there, howev er even that can be hard on the back,I like the wall idea.

I actually do big quilts on two of those plastic foldable tables 3 1/2 by6 feet or so. I put the tables next to each other. I just makes sure I move it around and just drop the section I am not working on off the table while I smooth and spray baste/pin the section that is on the table. I can do Cal King this way. It take sa little patience but it works. You can also do it on the floor but that is hard on the knees and back.
