Have you tried starting out with a smaller project to practice your skills? How about making a set of placemats, or a table runner? You can set your current project aside for now, and make something quick that will help you decide if it's the weight of the large project that is causing problems for you. I agree with the idea above about adding tables to your work area. You can also use a dining room table, and position your machine so you have the most space behind and to the left of your machine.
