I started FMQ recently on my old Bernina 830, and there is really no easy way. I just pin all over. It helps to start in the center and I've read to quilt in sections out from either side of the center, and then up and down from the center (T shape) and then to fill in the 4 corner quadrants. Others say they quilt from top to bottom at the center of the quilt, then fill in left and right from top to bottom. The part to the right of wherever you are working on is always in the way, so I just roll it up to contain it as much as possible. My machine is not a long arm. The "eye" is only about 7" x 4", which is why I'd like to find an old Singer with a longer arm.

SID is perfectly ok :D Just check the quilting requirements on your batting to make sure it matches to your SID :D:D:D
I love your quilts!!
