My question is, how do you deal with flinging the quilt around trying to sew it? Mine keeps trying to fall off the table. I'm nervous about messing it up because of it pulling itself off the table. I rested it in my lap but then I practically got buried in the material. Thanks!
I always put extra tables around my sewing table when I'm quilting and make sure the quilt stays on the tables. I've found that the pulling when the quilt goes off the table effects my tension. Also I spluged on a machine with an extra large throat. Hope this helps.
