As a 'seasoned' quilter who can't pin sandwiches

Very nice! I've started using a couple of the folding tables with adjustable legs that you can get at Walmart. I use two tables so that the folds mark the center in one direction and the crease between the tables marks the other. I use a doctor's chair to wheel around while doing the pinning. This has been a lot easier on my back than the old floor method! And I can do it out on the deck when the weather cooperates.

Loooove that offer, Norma! Once both granddaughters are in school I may take you up on it. Right now it would just take a little too long to get to your place!
But I have a post-retirement plan: I know a vicar who is in charge of a very large church hall. I bet he'll let me sneak in there occasionally with a quilt top or two.From the edge of Sherwood Forest, home of Robin Hood

Maybe you should convince him that he needs a design wall too Lorchen. :lol: I was just spray basting a quilt sandwich on my dining table this evening and thinking what a back-breaking job it is basting a quilt. Love the idea of those risers but I have not seen them here, I must look out for them, thanks Lynn.

Rita, if you can't find risers there, but know a woodworker, see how to make wooden risers at http://www.ehow.com/how_7283690_make...ed-risers.html. Shouldn't be terrible expensive to have made. You can put some felt or rubber gripping material on the bottom in order not to scuff your floors. Hope this helps

I use a cutting table from JoAnn's, it's at least 15 years old. Both leaves fold down if you need to have more room. when I want to pin a quilt, I fold both leaves up and move it to the middle of the room. It's 36 wide by 60 long, if i baste a bigger quilt I start in the center and move it around after the center's pinned. the table is a little creaky but it works. I have not tried the floor, probably i would need to call the paramedics afterward to get me off the floor! I can only envy people who can get down on the floor and back up again Kathy
