Well I am totally confused as to "puddle" , roll or fold! I have not done any of that so far. what I have quilted has been small. Well I can say I bunched it up between the neck and needle somewhat, but I am wondering how you quilt with a large quilt size. And the method of sewing with the sewing machine sideways, is that like the head of the machine is facing you? I know my question might seem funny, but I am really new to this and quilting a large top is terrifying!
