I have done the soup can thing too, it's a long arm work around, if you have some really full blocks. I looked on you tube but couldn't find a video. I SITD first to get everything square. Then center the block under the needle, and put a can of soup on either side of the arm, parallel with the arm. This puts additional pressure on the block so you can more easily quilt the fullness out. the nice thing with the soup cans is that they will roll back and forth with the motion of the arm. I'm guessing the rice bags would also be used for additional pressure, but they don't move and would have to be repositioned.
