Set up tables, the ironing board is good, anything to support the quilt. Gather a small area up loosely around the presser foot. Check to see if it is free to move forward as you sew. I used to get my quilts hung up on the front of my table all the time. As soon as you feel tension in the quilt, stop with the needle down, and reposition the next section. I used to roll my quilts and I found that they were stiff and hard to manage. Now I keep them as loose and free as possible, but I only concentrate on the section that is going to move through the machine. Good luck to you. :-)
