For me the best way to quilt was by following Leah Day's illustrations. If you would check you would see that she has herself "hemmed in" by tables so that the quilt is always supported on all sides. I slide my machine close to the window and then move tables around me so that I can support the quilt on all sides. I even use an old cardboard box to support it on one side where I don't have a quilt. This is a form of "puddling"and you do have to constantly make sure that the quilt is not dragging but works for me. Hopefully this will help you.
