I agree... my HV dealer and her repairperson are ready to "bend over backward" to be helpful. However, I purchased my frame and Megaquilter "gently used" from a private party and have yet to get it "up and running". Any suggestions for getting proficient on it - and using a rolling stool?

The only way to get good on it is to practise, practise, practise.
Some people find that if the doodle with pen and paper it helps to get the smooth motion down.
Some find that they need to hold their elbows tight to their body to stabilize better.
I use a rolling stool and sit a bit sideways, so I'm more 'pulling' the machine towards me that moving it side to side. Then just roll the stool backwards as I go.
I also find it easier to use one hand and support it with my other hand, rather than have two hands on two handles.
One last tip - don't over-try to make a pattern perfect - it's more important to have smooth lines. Sometimes trying to be too perfect actually gives you worse results.
