Welcome to the Quilting Board!
my quilting area. Had trouble with this latest quilt using my usual L shape setup. So rearranged some things and came up with this. So far seems to be working great. This is not the first queen quilt I have done on this DSM, but for some reason had issues with this one. Am still going to get a extension table for it. Being a retired widow on a fixed income one has to do with what one has.
Looks like you have the whole quilt supported and that works best. As long as the cat doesn't decide to jump up on his favourite spot, you should be good.
I have him pretty well trained so if he heads for the quilt I tell him NO and he will stay off. At least while I am looking.
How wonderful to have room for all that help with supporting your quilt!!! Color me green!!!

I believe UFOs are like scraps, ferns and dust bunnies. Once you get two, they send spores out into the air and more just happen anywhere the spores meet.
But what if kitty wants to help?! On the quilt is the FIRST place my cat goes when he enters the sewing room ...Originally Posted by Tartan

My sewing room is cobbled together...works for me! I don't think my machine would sew any straighter in a expensive cabinet!
Have you considered suspending the quilt? It would take less space and actually works better than spreading it out. I will provide a link to a commercial system (Jenoop quilt suspenders) you can purchase, but several people have built their own for about $30 out of PVC:

Prism, I was going to ask her the same thing! I have the Janoop and recently a lady brought me a quilt her grandmother had made out of double knit poly. It must have weighed 90 pounds. She wanted a new binding put on and that support made it so so easy! I love it. And I don't have the space she has.

Couldn't resist - I ordered for my Sweet16 sit down quilting system. Thanks for sharing.
On! I am jealous. I would love to have one. Perhaps in my next life. Just can't afford on my fixed income.
