It works much better if your table is as wide as the quilt/pool noodles. Otherwise they droop off the edge and make it hard to keep even and smooth. I recently did a king size and used one long 6 ft table and a 4 ft table. Worked great. One thing she did not mention in the video is to have a stop behind the rolled noodles when basting together. Otherwise they may roll off the end of the table and well......it aint pretty. I just put a couple of chairs so the backs are against the table.
I have used this method for several years now and will never go back to any other method. I am unable to get on the floor and baste a quilt so this method has been a life changer for me. I roll smaller quilts onto the noodles using my wide ironing board, then move to a table to baste together.

This is interesting. I use white woold molding and Sharon Schamber's method. I don't like using pins, and didn't want to spray baste. I lay it out similar to the pool noodle method on our ping pong table. Then I use a desk chair on wheels as I move along. I know this takes a little more time, but I have had good luck with this method.
