I'm not very good with a lot of the terms yet. So what is puddling. Sorry to sound so stupid. I have made quilts for years but never been around quilters. :(

Basically, you are just scrunching the quilt up around the edges and keeping the part you are working on flat at the machine. Some people like to fold or roll up the extra. I think it's harder that way myself. I am a puddler/scruncher! :)

when I was quilting with a DM machine I would pin the layers together, and after deceiding what pattern to quilt would use blue painters tape to divide into sections, and start with the section closest to the center.
