Paula, there are several good threads here about putting the quilt sandwich together that I've found very helpful. I use 505 spray and it seems to hold things in place really well. As far as the actual quilting goes, my suggestion is to make a small (18 x 24) quilt sandwich and practice your stitches. It's much easier to become good at quilting with a small piece that is easy to maneuver. I usually FMQ all my quilts and do a small practice piece before I work on my big quilt.
