My beeyooteeful little 1947 Singer 15-91 finishing up the main body of a 91" quilt. :)
I start in the center of a quilt and work outwards, and with a very large quilt, there are about four square feet in the center which are much more difficult to quilt than the rest, because of all the quilt jammed under the arm of the machine. Just go slow and re-position more frequently and you get past that initial difficulty - it's a lot easier as you move outward. :)
Quilt "puddled" around the needle and supported on all sides by tables to prevent drag.

The quilt is just piled up on the support surfaces and about a 1' square area around the needle is held smooth and taut while quilting.
