Sandwiching on the floor is HARD.

This is what I came up for my small sewing room. I took PVC pipe and made it the with of my room took drain ends and cut them in half and placed them on some plywood to have t different highs. Mounted them on each side of my room and placed the PVC pipe in the ends. As you can see I can have it up high out of my way or down so I can work with the three layers and easily tie off a big quilt with not much work, and it keeps the cat off while I am working on it. Hope this helps with people that have a small rooms.

Yes, I start at the top and work from the middle to the sides. I will do half and then go to the other side and do the same thing. You can adjust the layers as you go it is very easy to work with. I can bring it down low enough to be eye level. You can have one person on one end and one on the other end and pull the layers to get out any wrinkles. Hope this helps you.

I have a large cutting mat on a 1/4 piece of plywood that almost covers my queen side bed. This is about waist high on me. I put the middle of the lining on the middle of of the bed, smooth it out to each side, (yes some is hanging off the bed.) Then, I begin layering starting in the center each time and smoothing outward. Next, I put quilting pins about every six inches. This part I don't like. I, too, can't get down in the floor anymore, and duh, never though of the church building where my husband preaches. Silvia

All great ideas...love yours Mrs. Otis. I too am having a hard time getting around on the floor, and every time I turn my back the dogs are investigating my work. Ah well, pawprints will just add to the "rustic charm" of my current project.
