I love basting with boards I do use safety pins www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhwNylePFAA

I move the dining room table and put a buffet table up against it and use that. I usually pin baste.

I can get down. Getting up is the problem!

What are Pinmores?

You're right. Getting down is hard; getting up is definitely worse

I have a ping pong table in the garage, I use that when I pin a quilt, as I cannot get on the floor anymore either.

My mom always used the big frames and would turn the long sides as the quilt progressed. When I was a child, playing underneath the quilt top was great fun. Especially when other kids would be there to help with the play while their mothers helped with the quilt. We seem to be more solitary with quilting now. Perhaps thats why we have this board. Thanks for all of your responses, it's fun to see the process we each go through.

Go to Hancock fabrics and ask them for some of their empty long rolls. They will gladly give you as many as you like. Now you can roll most while you pin, baste, or whatever you do in a smaller space.

I tape and spray baste on the floor. It isn't as easy as it used to be but it works the best for me.
