I second the suggestion to rest the quilt on something else while you're learning to get the knack of it. I use a floor frame, but sometimes my underhand finger still pushes up too much - I wonder why I'm not making a good stitch and then realize that I'm really tense, and my bottom hand is pushing too much. So relaxing my shoulders a bit helps, too.
