I only quilt the small crib quilts and lap quilts. If you lay them on a table and pull the backing taut. I use masking tape to hold the backing down Then I use safety pins where ever I 'm not going to quilt. I also use a walking foot, and sew slowly.
I don't get any tucks but I only stitch in the ditch.
I roll the quilt from both sides from where I am quilting, and secure with bicycle clips. Then throw the rest of the quilt over my shoulder so the weight of the quilt doesn't drag and pull from the sewing area.
My larger quilts I send out to a longarm quilter for the wonderful custom quilting needed for bed size quilts.
