Update:
I went to Lowe's this weekend and got two 8 ft boards for about $20. Then went to Joann's a bought three yards of flannel for about $11 ( used coupon). I used your tutorial to complete basting on my quilt top and it worked wonderfully. I did use pins though. Wow! Such a huge difference! Thanks again for sharing this method that makes this task less odious.

I used this method with the boards for the first time a couple of weeks ago. It was easy and really worked. When I basted my quilt, it was secure enough that I have been hand quilting it in a wooden lap hoop. This is the first hand quilting I have done and am using the utility quilting stitch. It is probably the last time for me except for small projects! This is a great tutorial. Thanks for posting.

I just had to thank you! I am new to quilting, and now a new member . I came across your wonderful instruction while googling for advise on free motion machine quilting. I have to say I am turning into a junky...lol!

Question
I am new to this so I hope I am doing it right. I am so pleased to have found this method and am currently trying it on a child's sample quilt in preparation for trying it on a queen size quilt which I intend to free motion quilt on my pfaff sewing machine. I hope it works! The question I have is why lay the back and top on top of each other, especially when working with large quilts. Would it not work to roll the backing up on a board and then roll the top? It seems to me that might be easier....
