Yes it does make sense to me -- the scrunching of the edge of the project in your left hand...on a larger object where scrunching isn't possible, I pin the quilt with safety pins out of the way where I'm working. You can still "scrunch" the quilt but just not all of it...does that make sense?

I think so... just scrunch closer to where you are quilting? I'll have to "dig out" that huge project and give it a try. Thank you Sewjoyce.
