Sounds like you need a can of 505. If you spray on the backing to the batting and press, and then repeat with the top of the quilt, you will find you have a nice smooth surface to quilt. I love 505 because it is so user friendly. After you put in some stabilizing stitches with your walking foot, you should be good to go with whatever type of quilting you want to do. May I recommend the Ann Petersen class on Craftsy called "Beyond Machine Quilting"? She also has one called something like Big Projects on a small machine. Good luck.
