I have done Stitch-in-the-ditch on a regular machine using the walking foot but I have since upgraded to a sewing machine with a larger throat.
Puddling means that the bulk of the quilt lays all around the back of the machine and you focus on the small part under the needle/throat. FYI, the machines with the larger throat opening also have a larger worktable. Hm, upgrading may not be such a bad idea.

Puddle = scrunch up. If you imagine the quilt divided into 9 squares, start with the middle first. then do the bottom middle. then go to the top middle and then work your way down the right top, middle, bottom. Then turn the quilt around and do the first column.
There are a lot of great tutorials on Leah Day's site.
