I use a fold up banquet table and the ends hang off the ends of the table. Doesn't cause any problems.

I have 9 facebook friends who have signed up to help me in exchange for either a quilting lesson or some help on quilting and finishing their own projects. I'll report back on how that works out for me, but at this point I think I've found my new basting method ; )

The next time I have a big one to sandwich, I'm going to inquire at the nearest church about using their fellowship room and sliding enough tables together. In my experience, churches are always welcoming to a neighbor.
PS: I usually do minis and doll quilts, so I don't do many big quilts.

I think that may be the hardest part...at least for me...but then I am not good enough to do really complicated quilts.
