I cant get down on the floor so use my cutting table with the special clips to hold the quilt. I use the large black clips when I run out of the small plastic ones. Larger quilts I have to reposition so the clips are a must.

I agree, those tools are the best for me, too! :)
Nope, no more on the floor for me, either. It's tables all the way. I can't use the clips with my sewing table, but I do use the painter's tape to secure my backing. Thanks so much for replying. :)
Happy quilting!
