    OMGoodness, what a great response. I'll have to try this method. I'm assuming the boards are fairly inexpensive. Thanks ladies!

    One word of advice...do not store standing up in a corner. My boards warped and are hard to use.
    I have done a king size with a friend's help. I used a card table and raised it to the level of my dining room table with flat cans of catfood.

    If you want a free way, when you go to the fabric store or go to a carpet store and they will give you the cardboard tube that they throw away. I keep the ones out of batting. Also a good way to store fabric and help get the wrinkles out of fabric. There are several lengths as well.

    Yes I use this method but it is limited to size of your pieces of wood and available space. It works very well.

    There is a wonderful tute here on this board. Sorry I can't remember who posted it right off hand. Perhaps doing a search will bring it up, or maybe someone here remembers who it is. I do know there were wonderful photos. Good luck.
