If you look thru the boards at a Home Depot you'll find some that are already primed on one side and the edges. The ones I found are a wood product similar to MDF. They're very nice and very straight.

I had pleats all the time too. Til I started using basting spray. That solved that problem for me.

projects.And agree with everyone else pen or baste well.Good luck I know your frustration.

Thank you, thank you. I would be able to get ON the floor, but would not be able to get up without help so this has been wonderful. I'm the one who gets on the floor then tries to get up, ends up laughing so much with my husband that he finally has to step in. I walk fine, it's the floor that is my challenge, so thank you again :)

Also, I pinned about 4" apart. I am going to study this tutorial.

I pull my backing real taut without overstretching and tape it down with painter's tape. (Usually, I work on large tabled pushed together at work to do this) Then I lay the batting down in halves and smooth it out on top, patting as I go. I repeat with the top and pin about hand-width apart.
Then I check the back and make sure all is smooth.
By using that method, I have had no puckers using the alking foot for SID or other straight stitch quilting.

My husband went to home depot and got me 2 8 ft straight boards, he painted and sanded them and now I put the leaf in our dinning room table and set and pin I do as Sharon does only I pin. Works great and no pleats on the back.

Where do you get these bull clips? I would love to use them when I make crib quilts

I basted a baby quilt using this method yesterday. It was very easy and really pretty fast.
