I pull the ironing board up to my left side and adjust it to hold the weight of the quilt while the rest of the quilt goes up against the wall behind the back of my machine. This helps a ton.

I also cannot for the life of me do anything with gloves, so I usea product called "quilt sew easy discs". They are just what the say, discs that you put your finger tips on and move the quilt with them. I've also heard that the rubber fingers that you can get at office supply stores work well- haven't tried that.

I've also been told that you can wax the surface of your machine to help the fabric slide...haven't tried that either. I've found that keeping the weight of the quilt supported and finding something I like to use with my hands to move the quilt made all the difference in the world.

Good Luck!
