Wear a pair of gloves ie like gardening gloves with grip. They will stop your hands slipping as you move the quilt. I found my first time the weight kept pulling the quilt. Now adays love free motion and I wear my gardening gloves on both or one hand depending on quilt.
I did one quilt listening to a tennis match with serve and back and forwards , then serve back and forth.
great free motion and I liked the match as well.
