don't understand what you mean by "fast machine"
Some leave the feed dogs up but dial the stitch length down to 0 to disengage the feed dog movement. That way they are not working against your hand movements.
I still prefer to tape plastic over the feed dogs if they don't lower. It helps with the movement of the quilt.

I haven't tried this yet but it is interesting.
