I use the ironing board or/and a swivelling chair on my left. The chair trick makes it easier for me to move evrything including myself as I have small sewing space.

I press all flat surfaces available into service when I machine quilt. My machine is on a table and I set up 2 card tables. It helps to have one continuous surface if you can get it all the same level. I have some hardcover books I put under the card table legs to adjust the height to my main table. You can use bed raisers too if they are the right height for your set up. I'm glad you've found your rhythm and hopefully the width will be easier. Watch out for crossing the previous quilting lines because that is where you might get some wrinkles. Use both hands to smooth the fabric out from the needle as you approach those areas. Good luck!
