Thanks for all the advice. I think I am going to make a ton of Christmas placemats or other placemats from scraps and work on those. I get so stressed with moving large quilts around. When I grab a small scrap with batting and backing to use to warm up and adjust the tension, I fly with great or at least good quilting. The minute the big quilt goes under, I tense up and can't gracefully move the quilt. I have the tables around to support and a sew ezi table so the machine is flush with the table. I guess I will have to start much smaller and move gradually to bigger quilts.
