That to me is the hardest part of FMQ - the big quilts. Most of the shows show the quilters using a small square. Mostly don't show a decent size quilt in a DSM. There are a few videos on YouTube. Leah Day described some kind of contraption where you put hooks in your ceiling and suspend the quilt! Hardly practical, I think. I know everyone says "you are only quilting on the small area under your needle". True that, but, there is the rest of the quilt to keep flowing! The supreme slider sometimes helps, a big piece of vinyl sometimes helps, and the gloves sometimes help. Will look forward to more ideas.
