The largest quilt I've done is a king size. OF COURSE, I use a quilt-as-you-go-method. My hats off to folks who can do a regular quilt on a domestic machine: amazing!

100 X 110. Was quite a job, but well worth it.

This is what I am working on now as I also have a smaller machine.
When all of the panels are finished and ready to put together I am going to complete it as a Rag Quilt. Will be queen size.

Will be tacking each panel(using a dark green cotton thread) before sewing together. Works very well on this D9P. Not sure as yet if the "rag" part will be on the top part of the quilt or the bottom. Will have to decide before I put it all together.

I am new to piecing and quilting. My first quilt is queen size and I am quilting it, SID, on my little portable machine. The throat measures only 5 3\4". I spray and pin basted then started quilting from the center out. I used a folding method on the outermost edges to keep it on my table and the flat, folded surface slid better than bunching it. As it gets closer to where I am actually stitching, I tend to bunch it against the throat keeping the fabric taut with the fingers on my left hand. So far, it has been relatively simple, tho slow going. I also work 40 hrs a week, cook and clean the house so devote every opportunity I get to working on my quilt and it isf going great! I don't think Id opt for LA or handquilting.

King size. And I'm getting ready to do 2 more king size. I've done a few queen size, and many large lap size. When I do SID I roll the quilt. When I do FMQ I puddle them. That's what works best for me. My first king size was on a DSM with a 7" harp. Now I have a Pfaff with a 9" harp and it is easier.

Don't laugh, that is how I quilt larger ones. I make 16x16 blocks quilt them, then sew them into rows. After making enough rows I sews it all together.....tada.......Large quilt 60x 80

Thank you for all the posts, this is great info. I just finished my first quilting project on my Brother CS6000i, which has a really short neck. It was a twin and apart from the fact that I'm unpracticed it came out pretty good. I wouldn't hesitate to do another twin on it. I never really thought I could go much bigger than that though and I'm intrigued that so many of you have done queens and bigger. I doubt I will ever make anything much larger than a queen but now I kind of want to try ... maybe after I have a few more twins under my belt!

Oh and those of you who have quilted in halves and then sewn the parts together, I'd love to know how you pulled that off. I can't picture how that might be done ...

I have done at least 2 queen size quilts, both bedspread size. I had lots of table space to help support the quilt which is very necessary. They are work, but you feel great when you get it done! And both of my kids really appreciated them. Good luck. I now have a mid arm (18") machine quilting machine, so it's much easier.

I do queens on my reg machine now-use to do them on my treadle I have a very old quilt frame that has long thin nails/pins thats now attached to the wall I stretch out the back then batting then the top- pin it then I can roll the bottom up -the top down put them in quilt clips and they stay tight enough to fit thru the throat I no longer have any puckers I did do a Cal King with xtra 24inches to length and width but I did it as if they were 4 seperate quilts then after putting the 4 together I hand stitched the 2 center sashes on by hand to complete the back quilt pattern.
