Using a “triple” stitch setting and a heavy weight thread, follow the seams of a charm pieced quilt to do the quilting!

Here’s one way to achieve that custom surface with some construction rigid foam insulation and a piece of flexible clear vinyl. I have also seen a blog where a quilter used this method, but set her sewing machine perpendicular to her body (needle close to her and motor farthest away). No matter what system you use, you will find that you are more comfortable and your machine quilting is easier with a flat surface for the quilt to lay on while you are quilting it.

Here’s how to adjust it for machine quilting a large quilt.

Here is a full write-up of the process as well.

The PRESSURE setting and the PRESSER foot. This video attempts to sort out the difference, explaining how the pressure settings on the presser foot work and how and why to change the settings, as well as how to find the pressure setting control on various machines.
Marguerita McManus, author of the book Crazy Shortcut Quilts does the demo:

One guide that I use for determining the number of pins to use the the “hand rule” – if you put your hand anywhere on the quilt you should feel at least one pin. That helps determining good spacing and enough pins to prevent puckers in the back while quilting.
