Thank you so much.

Yes, you could! I've done quilts by stitching in the ditch using my own machine; youjust have to roll the quilt tight to fit the opening, and, as others on the board have said, use the dining room table to support he quilt as you work.

What is cotton method? I've made a couple of throws -machined quilted myself -- also made some toppers using the flip and sew method. This is how I have kept the cost down. Sending out projects to be quilted can be costly -- usually it depends on the pattern used. I'm realitively new - when I improve(a lot) my aim is to make a Queen size -this will have to be sent out. This hobby can be addicting! Good luck.

I'm not sure that I understand the cotton method, either. I'll be eagerly awaiting an explanation.

You should just quilt t yourself. I though I could never do it. I actually use an old singer and still quilt my own quilts. You just have to find your own way of doing it. It might now be perfect but much cheaper and you DID IT YOURSELF.

Try Quilt as You Go. That way you can machine quilt smaller sections but still end up with a full sized quilt. I believe there are instructions on line, failing that, you can purchase a book at a reasonable price. Good luck with your quilting

The Cotton method is: Betty Cotton's 'Cotton Theory' method. It's a 'quilt as you go' type method, similar to www.baysidequilting.com 's 'fun and done' method. You cut your backing, batting and quilt block and top quilt, the backing is bigger than the block & batting, then you stich together the blocks, bringing the backing to the front, then folding down the backing and stitching. I have her book and dvd, but I think her quilts are a bit stiff, and fun and done seems much easier. Betty Cotton's methos requires alot of stitching- making the quilt heavier. Check out bayside quiltings fun & done, they have a free video at their website.
Kind Regards,

Thank you. The largest I have made is a throw. Someday I would like to attempt a queen size???
