I simply ( tightly) roll my quilt, unroll as I quilt.If it is particularly heavy or larger, I hold the " roll" together with giant safety pins. Unroll , and repin as I quilt.
I tried the option direction layout of my machine... as if with a Flynn ( no flynn frame tho-- throat is not very big and I think the flynn recommends a minimum of 6 inches?)I might get used to it but I decided it was just as easy to use it the traditional way.... for me anyway...
