    I use folding saw horses, put some wood on top of that and away I go. I do this in my driveway :wink:

    I do mine in the living room. After I push all the furniture against the walls. It takes forever so I bought a frame and don't need to do that any more. :thumbup:

    I used to do mine on the floor in the living room, but however careful I am it's a bit of a pest trying to keep it flat when the space isn't big enough.

    I now spray glue using the dining room table, even for the larger quilts and it works brilliant. I'm getting much flatter results with and only got the odd pucker which I was able to sort quickly.

    Thanks for adding this link. I had not seen this before and it looks like it should really work. I'm trying it next time.

    I also do it at work in a conference room. The tables are all on wheels so I just pull together the amount I need. I have a girlfriend who wants to learn to quilt but is still hesitant to get started. She will be a professional pinner before she ever sews a stitch!!

    I would never have thought of this! I have a perfect hall in the unfinished part of my basement. I could pin the back to the sheetrock & spray. Next quilt, I will try that. Thanks!

    I had never seen this method before and I am impressed with it. Thanks for providing the website.
