One helpful hint for me was to throw the large part of the quilt facing you over your shoulder (I use both shoulders according to where the weight of the quilt is). Also, an extra table at the back of your machine or I used to use my ironing board for more flat surface behind my machine. I now have the PVC frame (which was posted and we copied). It fits around my sewing table and is about 7 feet high. I used shower curtain rings on the PVC and attached 2" elastic (each about 30" long) onto each ring. I use heavy duty clamps (the red and black from Menard's) to clamp my quilt to the frame. I have 7 rings; 3 to the left of my sewing area and 4 to the back. You do have to readjust your quilt but these clamps hold the weight of the quilt off of your sewing area and makes it much easier to FMQ. Here are a couple of photos. Cannot remember the woman's name who thought this up and posted directions. So sorry!
