Masking Tape and Rubber Gloves

Does that sound like the punch line of a bad joke? Well, it's how I do my straight-line quilting. And, actually, it's how I do free-motion quilting too . . . minus the masking tape. I use my gloved hands as a frame to hold my quilt sandwich taut which minimizes puckers. This and good basting have compensated for my lack of a walking foot.
