You want as large a flat surface at the base of the needle as possible. For support, I work in a corner of the room, so the quilt can't slip off the left or back of my desk/table. I use my lap to support in front if there is more than will fit on the front of the table. It does take a bit of muscle to work a large quilt through the machine, so frequent breaks are a good idea.
