The Timepiece Quilt used in this tutorial measures 56 inches by 70 inches, but this method can be used on any size quilt. 1  Step 1: Lay your quilt on a bed, table or other flat surface. 2  Step 2: Fold the lower right corner up toward the center of the quilt making sure the fold is on the bias.
When sandwiching a small quilt simply tape the backing fabric wrong side up to the table using masking tape. Don't stretch the backing as you are taping, it needs to be firm and smooth as when it is ironed but not stretched. Then lay the batting on the backing and sort of pat the batting in place. You don't want to stretch the batting. If you need move the batting lift and replace. If the batting is stretched when it is laid on the quilt it will spring back when the backing tape is released causing the quilt to pucker.
