Check out the post above yours, Machine quilting on regular sew machine? I went into a lot of detail of how I do it.
Practice lots and lots before you start on a quilt. Good luck and don't be too hard or critical. Wash and dry it when all finished and it will look great.

I don’t quilt with both hands on top of the quilt sandwich.
Here are two pictures.

There are other tips on my blog in this post:

I have been FMQ for several years and found it was much easier once I got a table that my sewing machine sat down in so was level with the table also try lowering an ironing board on the left hand side of the table to hold some of the weight and then set high enough that you are not reaching up anyway all of this really did help me

Try www.leahday.com I was just there. The quilt part is on the bottom left. Really worthwhile to go see and shop.
