Can do a kind size on a card table.

I use the floor for really big quilts or the tables at a meeting hall. I use a sheet of foam-board insulation that I bought at Lowe's for smaller projects and clothing construction patterns. I put this on my dining room table and can put push pins into it. I also store it leaning against my sewing room wall and when covered by a flannel backed table cloth (flannel site out), it becomes a design wall.

I use the concrete floor in my photography studio. Because the concrete is hard on the knees, I use knee pads! I also use them when I clean my floors. I love the idea early about the driveway with a big tarp. That is really nifty, just remember the knee pads!

I had planned to do it on my kitchen floor, but since I am having it machine quilted, my quilter told me not to sandwich as she would just have to take it apart anyway to feed it into her machine....! I was so relieved as crawling around on the floor did not seem like something my poor old back could manage. If there is an extra charge for this, I would gladly pay it.

I have had knee replacement and can't do floor crawling anymore!! Soooooo, if I'm in AZ we have a big sewing room with big tables that I can push together. If in MI, I have to punt!! Was glad to hear about the wall trick. Haven't tried that. Thanks
