With your long arm, one thing to consider is floating the top instead of rolling it on the front. Once I started floating my tops, the whole process got way simpler. I have a cord with sliding clips I use to keep the top square as I advance the quilt.
Best of luck on the sale! Last I remember hearing was that you were doing a complete remodel of your house; I didn't realize you were selling it too.
I've thought about floating the quilt top, but my kiddos (ALL of them!) think that seeing a quilt draped over anything is an invitation to hug it and play peek-a-boo with! I have ordered Red Snappers to hopefully help with the loading process. I know one thing for sure, I don't like pinning it!
