Yes it will work. I press most of my seams open in my tops. Rarely to I press to one side. I like the flatness of an open seam. Do use your walking foot. I find if I lift the quilt so that there is no pulling from the weight of it in my lap it goes much much more easliy. I sew a about a foot then reposition the quilt in my lap to give it some slack to feed through , just remember needle down , when repositioning.
