All the responses to your question Chance were great for me. I have been too intimidated to even try to do my quilts on my machine. Maybe I will make a smaller quilt and try stitching it myself.

Congratulations on getting to the near final stage of your quilt!!! I can't wait to see a picture of it when it's completed.
As far a machine quilting, I found wearing rubber gloves to be helpful. It can be those very thin ones that you can see through. Or whatever it available to you. The gloves allows you to move the quilt along while stitching without slippage. (They also protects the quilt from any natural skin oils or accidental blood from pin pricks.) Aslo, I have a "walking foot" on my machine. It helps move the top and bottom layers together in one smooth motion.
Have fun!!!
