she uses two straight boards, rolls the quilt top on one, and the backing on the other. Then she rolls them back out, on a wide table top, a section at a time with the batting in between and bastes with tatting thread as she goes. When she's done with one section, she just rolls out some more and keeps on going. I tried it on the last couple of baby quilts I did and it worked like a charm! No crawling around on the floor across the quilt sandwich and no painful safety pins.
How do you manipulate the batting between the top and backing at the same time, or is one attached first, then the other?
Maybe she just uses the boards like extensions of her arms to smooth it out?

I just checked out Sharon Schamber site, and OMG, her work is beautiful, She is so talented. I would just go back to this site to look at her workwomanship. It really is spectacular.
I must go to the binding section next. Will have to give it a go.
