Default Organic wavy line quilting with a walking foot.

I've been watching some youtubes and reading some tutorials on this and they all show it being done with smallish width quilts so the quilter can roll or bunch up the sides and grasp and lift them so as to steer the quilt in a wavy motion when quilting. Looks easy and very effective but I have a a quilt of 60" width and I can't for the love of me roll up the sides and manage this with my hands on either side. There just seems to be too much quilt. So,iIf I leave the quilt flat on my table as I do for "normal" quilting and try to steer/wave the quilt from side to side even just a little bit to create a slight wave I just can't seem to do it. I really don't want to do this with fm....really want to perfect the technique with the walking foot. Has anyone any tips or ideas for me on how I can manage the width bulk?
