Gravity is your enemy, no matter how much to press/starch it, it will aim for the floor. See if you have a church, school, office nearby that will let you borrow a big table to sandwich and baste.

This is for quiltingfan, We've been full time for almost 12 years. I hand quilt, and in the rv I use a hoop. I love to quilt so had to find what works. Love the traveling too.

Sounds great to me!!! I always iron my tablecloths on the table.

I saw on a video, for laying in the backing on a quilting frame, that if you spray mist with water, the wrinkles will fall out. It's TRUE! I now don't iron any backings unless they have the factory type of hard crease. I lay the backing across my quilting frame, spray (more spray for more wrinkles) and wait an hour (in cold weather - less time in hot weather), and the wrinkles literally fall out. I don't know why that wouldn't work for you!!!!

Hmmmm. Well, I won't tell anyone some of the things I have tried and/or done. My husband just shakes his head in disbelief.

I bought one of those design wall things from Fonz & Porter and stapled it to my sewing room wall. Haven't tried to sandwich a quilt on it. Don't do many large quilts. I have used a cardboard cutting board on my bed for baby quilts - it still hurts my back but not my knees. I'm working on a BOM that's 80x80 and I'm seriously considering doing it quilt as you go then lap quilting it together like Georgia Bonesteel does.

I did that recently myself..just set the iron on a lower temp.

I take my larger quilts to the church and put two of the banquet tables together. My husband made some risers out of landscape timbers and we put them under the legs so I don't have to bend over. Sure saves on the back. I usually have more than one top to sandwich so all the tables makes it easier for me. My husband or a friend will usually come help me so we get to visit at the same time. I never though about hanging it on the wall.
