I'll stop reading at the end of the first page and say that I "kinda sorta roll" when I work in the middle of the quilt (that would be at the beginning of the quilting process). But then as I get toward the edges it becomes puddling. I have found that really forming a nice roll is too structured for me. I move my machine to the dining table or, for smaller quilts, form a support around the machine table with a small folding craft table and fabric bins. I like to quilt with my White "school machine." I use the Janome for the smaller quilts. My walking foot works on both machines.
