    Just an idea, but what if you leave one clamp on the front and one at the back and slide the quilt over?

      I’ve done this a few times and yep, that does make it a bit faster. The only downside is if the quilt gets caught by the metal clips on the back bar.

    Leah, that video was so helpful. I have done maybe three or four quilts on my q-zone and not been thrilled with results. I did do needle down and channel locks which do not keep quilt from moving. That said seeing how you went back up into your pattern helped me. I have been getting rows which do not look nice. Thanks Leah

      Stick with it and keep quilting! The key is practice with any style of quilting. The first and second quilts you make might not be perfect, but you will definitely be getting the hang of it by 4 or 5 quilts!
