Some of my quilts get their "names" from this part of quilting! And sometimes it's not good ones! Dare I tell you some of the names? LOL What I do is roll it up on the edges real tight(the part that is going to go thru the throat of the machine) Pin it with my quilting pins so it doesn't come unrolled (pin it really good, so it does't pull) then as you quilt you have to unroll, repin. That's what I do....... Why don't the mfgs. of sewing machines that say they are quilting machines give us just a little more room to work with? If it's a quilting machine, you should be able to do just that!
