Thanks for the tip, I will try it. I use a big needle, either a denim or a large size regular needle. I use which ever I have. You have to go slow and don't pull the fabric or push it through. I also have started using a basting stitch above my stitching line to baste down the seam allowances before I sew the rows together. I set a card table up beside me to hold the weight of the quilt.
