best basting method
#31
I generally don't press when sandwiching a quilt but just let it dry naturally. In a matter of a couple of hours it's dry enough to move around. During that time I just do something else. If you're in a hurry you can press it with a hot iron. The purpose of the hot iron is to dry the glue. You would need to press and not iron as ironing would potentially shift things. Even with pressing I would wait to machine quilt it until it was thoroughly dry, at least overnight. When I glue baste my binding before hand sewing it on I press with a hot iron so it stays in place quickly.

I took two doors and put hinges on them so I could fold them and store them in the garage when not needed
when it was time to put my quilt together I would put the doors on my kitchen table, open them up and I would have a 72 x 80 table top. I couldn't get down on the floor, I probably couldn't get back up . Lol

I have had times where I have had tucks in the back. Most of the times I was either tired and trying to rush. I have used Sharon Schamber's Method. You might want to look that up on U tube. It worked for me.

Have you seen the board basting technique? I haven't tried it but it seems like it would work.
