Hi everyone! This is all very new to me, and I'm having a lot of fun. I just seem to be having some difficulty with the bulk of this quilt. I've not even got a large quilt - it's only about 40"x50". I guess I'm just used to sewing much smaller things.
My question is, how do you deal with flinging the quilt around trying to sew it? Mine keeps trying to fall off the table. I'm nervous about messing it up because of it pulling itself off the table. I rested it in my lap but then I practically got buried in the material. Thanks!

Quilt on the lap is why I love quilting in the winter, I can turn the heat back! The downside is that the cats like the lap in the quilt and want to join in the fun!
For big quilts I roll/fold the quilt. The only method I've found to keep the roll together is big binder clips. Otherwise I pin the bejesus out of the quilt and then make sure the section I'm working on is flat and just take my time.
