Ok thank you, it seems I need a lot of practice to get the hang of it! Thankfully my next blanket is also a baby size!

Not only should the bulk of the quilt at least be in your lap, but you should also lift it up at the front so it's not dragging as it's being quilted.

I have quilted a 96 x 96" quilt on a Janome 7700, which has a similar AccuFeed.
